We have investigated the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of Ge1-xMnxTe (x = 0.1) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. Our results show that the sample exhibits two ferromagnetic transition temperatures at TC = 34 K and TC* = 100 K. We infer that Tc is a long-range ferromagnetic ordering in view of sufficient carriers generating uniform ferromagnetism, whereas TC* is a short-range ferromagnetic ordering due to ferromagnetic clusters. The temperature dependence of the resistivity ρ(T) curve exhibits a shallow minimum near TC. The upturn of ρ(T) toward the low temperature (T TC), the phonon scattering dominates.
