The current status and prospects of research on ferromagnetism in II–VI diluted magnetic semiconductors and their nanostructures are reviewed. So far, in agreement with theoretical predictions, the ferromagnetic ordering has been observed above 1 K for p-type modulation-doped Cd1—xMnxTe/Cd1—y—zMgyZnzTe:N heterostructures as well as for Zn1—xMnxTe:N and Be1—xMnxTe:N epilayers and Bridgman grown Zn1—xMnxTe:P but not for n-type films of Zn1—xMnxO:Al. Diverse aspects of theoretical models as well as hopes associated with the materials containing magnetic ions other than Mn and encouraging results for II–VI/III–V systems are described.
