我们报告优化的晶体生长条件的四元化合物AgCrP 2S 6的化学气相传输。通过能量色散X射线光谱和粉末X射线衍射对所得晶体的组成和结构进行了表征。AgCrP 2S 6在结构上与M2 P2 S6家族密切相关，M2 P2 S6家族包含几种正在研究的化合物作为2D磁体。生长的晶体表现出板状，层状形态以及六边形的惯习。AgCrP_2S_6晶体属单斜晶系，空间群为P_2/a（No.13）。大的高质量的单晶体的成功生长铺平了道路，在未来的低维磁性及其各向异性的进一步调查，并可能进一步允许通过剥离制造少层（甚至单层）样品。
We report optimized crystal growth conditions for the quarternary compound AgCrP2S6 by chemical vapor transport. Compositional and structural characterization of the obtained crystals were carried out by means of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. AgCrP2S6 is structurally closely related to the M2P2S6 family, which contains several compounds that are under investigation as 2D magnets. As-grown crystals exhibit a plate-like, layered morphology as well as a hexagonal habitus. AgCrP2S6 crystallizes in monoclinic symmetry in the space group P2/a (No. 13). The successful growth of large high-quality single crystals paves the way for further investigations of low dimensional magnetism and its anisotropies in the future and may further allow for the manufacturing of few-layer (or even monolayer) samples by exfoliation.
