摘要： Ternary yttrium chromium sulfide, Y2CrS4, prepared by the solid-state reaction of Y2S3, Cr, and S, was found to exhibit an antiferromagnetic transition at about 64 K. The X-ray diffraction pattern at 300 K was refined with space group Pca21, and the structure parameters were determined to be a=12.51 Å, b=7.53 Å, and c=12.49 Å. We investigated the magnetotransport properties, and observed negative colossal magnetoresistance reaching up to 2.5? 104% in the semiconducting compound of Y2CrS4.

We investigated the magnetotransport properties, and observed negative colossal magnetoresistance reaching up to 2.5$\times$104% in the semiconducting compound of Y2CrS4.
