It is found that the chemical pair interaction between Cr atoms in (Zn, Cr)Te is attractive interaction and leads to spinodal decomposition. Curie temperatures in decomposed situation are estimated by the random phase approximation with taking the magnetic percolation effect into account. This decomposed phase makes the random pattern of high concentration regions which connect each other and have possibility to realize high Curie temperature. (c) 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
