InSb samples containing 0.22–1.42 wt % manganese were synthesized and identified. The unit cell parameter decreased as the manganese concentration increased. The samples contained microinclusions of manganese antimonides. Electrical and magnetic measurements showed two ferromagnetic phases (In1−x MnxSb solid solution with T c ∼ 7 K and MnSb with T c ∼ 580 K) and a ferrimagnetic phase (Mn2Sb). The samples had p-type conductivity with a charge carrier concentration of about 1020cm−3. The semiconductor conductivity was observed at low temperatures and changed to the metal conductivity with temperature elevation.
