We have synthesized a Ba6Ge25 clathrate, substituting 3 Ge per formula unit by Fe. This chiral clathrate has Ge sites forming a framework of closed cages and helical tunnel networks. Fe atoms randomly occupy these sites, and exhibit high-spin magnetic moments. A ferromagnetic transition is observed with T-c=170 K, the highest observed T-c for a magnetic clathrate. However, the magnetic phase is significantly disordered, and exhibits a transformation to a reentrant spin glass phase. This system has a number of features in common with other dilute magnetic semiconductors. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
