We have successfully synthesized a Ba6Ge25 clathrate, substituting 3 Fe per formula unit by Ge. 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 Tc = 170 K, the highest observed Tc for a magnetic clathrate. However, the magnetic phase is significantly disordered, and exhibits a transformation to a re-entrant spin glass phase. This system has a number of features in common with other dilute magnetic semiconductors.
