Probing the magnetic polaron state in the ferromagnetic semiconductor HgCr₂Se₄ with muon-spin spectroscopy and resistance-fluctuation measurements

Combined resistance noise and muon-spin relaxation (μSR) measurements of the ferromagnetic semiconductor HgCr2Se4 suggest a degree of magnetoelectric coupling and provide evidence for the existence of isolated magnetic polarons. These form at elevated temperatures and undergo a percolation...
