Zusammenfassung:The electronic structure of the magnetic semiconductors Mn x Cd 1 − x GeAs 2 and Mn x Zn 1 − x GeAs 2 , where x = 0, 0.0625, and 0.125, is calculated by the method of electron density functional in the plane-wave basis. Features of participation of Mn3 d -electrons in the chemical bond are revealed. It is found that their role in the chemical bond with group-V element depends on the group-II element and the concentration of the magnetic dopant.
