    Abstract:
    We have performed x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) studies of the diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor Zn(1-x)Cr(x)Te doped with iodine (I) or nitrogen (N), corresponding to electron or hole doping, respectively. From the shape of the Cr 2p absorption peak in the XAS spectra, it was concluded that the Cr ions in the undoped, I-doped and lightly N-doped samples are divalent (Cr(2+)), while Cr(2+) and trivalent (Cr(3+)) coexist in the heavily N-doped sample. This result indicates that the doped nitrogen atoms act as acceptors but that doped holes are located on the Cr ions. In the magnetic field dependence of the XMCD signal at the Cr 2p absorption edge, ferromagnetic behaviors were observed in the undoped, I-doped, and lightly N-doped samples, while ferromagnetism was considerably suppressed in the heavily N-doped sample, which is consistent with the results of magnetization measurements.
