CrPS4 Crystal Description
CrPS4 Crystal emerges as a compelling semiconducting material distinguished by its distinctive magnetic properties. With a notable 1.35 eV optical band gap, this compound showcases intriguing characteristics in its bulk van der Waals (vdW) crystal form, including a Neel temperature ranging between 35-40 K.
Recent theoretical investigations have illuminated the magnetic behavior of CrPS4, revealing a propensity for A-type antiferromagnetism. This implies that the material's magnetic properties can undergo an alternating transition from ferromagnetism to antiferromagnetism, particularly notable for odd- and even-numbered layers. Such findings contribute to the burgeoning understanding of the versatile magnetic phenomena inherent in chromium thiophosphate, opening avenues for potential applications in advanced electronics and magnetic technologies.
