Diluted magnetic semiconductors have received much attention due to their potential applications for spintronics devices. A prototypical system (Ga,Mn)As has been widely studied since the 1990s. The simultaneous spin and charge doping via hetero-valent (Ga3+, Mn2+) substitution, however, resulted in severely limited solubility without availability of bulk specimens. Here we report the synthesis of a new diluted magnetic semiconductor (Ba1-xKx)(Zn1-yMny)(2)As-2, which is isostructural to the 122 iron-based superconductors with the tetragonal ThCr2Si2 (122) structure. Holes are doped via (Ba2+, K1+) replacements, while spins via isovalent (Zn2+, Mn2+) substitutions. Bulk samples with x = 0.1 - 0.3 and y = 0.05 - 0.15 exhibit ferromagnetic order with T-C up to 180 K, which is comparable to the highest T-C for (Ga, Mn) As and significantly enhanced from T-C up to 50 K of the '111'-based Li(Zn,Mn)As. Moreover, ferromagnetic (Ba,K)(Zn,Mn)(2)As-2 shares the same 122 crystal structure with semiconducting BaZn2As2, antiferromagnetic BaMn2As2 and superconducting (Ba,K)Fe2As2, which makes them promising for the development of multi-layer functional devices.
