description

The magnetic properties of the lanthanide chalcogenides are much less explored than the monopnictides. The main reasons are probably difficulties in syntheses and the crystals growth. In particular, the properties of monotellurides are almost completely unknown. The dysprosium tellurides: DyTe and Dy2Τe3, crystallize in the structures related to the rock salt type. The first compound is metallic, while the second — semiconducting. Dysprosium sesquitelluride behaves like a simple antiferromagnet with the Neel temperature equal to 4.1 K [1]. We synthesized and investigated the dysprosium monnotelluride in order to examine a change of exchange interactions after transition to the metallic state.
