Abstract—Two series of manganese-doped chalcopyrites Cu_{1 –} _x/2Ga_{1 –} _x/2Mn_xSe₂ and CuGa_{1 –} _xMn_xSe₂ have been prepared by solid-phase synthesis. Manganese-containing impurities have been found in all samples because of low solubility of manganese in chalcopyrite CuGaSe₂. Nevertheless, manganese is incorporated into the chalcopyrite structure in a noticeable amount. All manganese-containing chalcopyrites have mainly paramagnetic properties; however, a ferromagnetic contribution has been found for all samples.
