Antiferromagnetically ordered Mn5Si3 can be driven ferromagnetic by incorporation of carbon into the voids of Mn octahedra of the hexagonal structure. While for Mn5Si3Cx polycrystals the Curie temperature saturates for x > 0.22 at TC = 152 K [1], sputtered Mn5Si3C0.8 films exhibit a TC above room temperature [2]. An enhancement of TC is also found after C doping of the isostructural compound Mn5Ge3 which is currently in the focus of possible spintronic applications. In an alternative approach, Mn5Si3Cx and Mn5Ge3Cx films were prepared by implantation of 45 - 195 keV C+ ions into Mn5Si3 or Mn5Ge3 films at elevated temperatures. The carbon-implanted samples exhibit magnetic properties very similar to their respective magnetron-sputtered counterparts as inferred from magnetization and resistivity measurements.
