We have investigated the magnetotransport properties of polycrystalline samples of Ag2CrO2, which is a metallic two-dimensional triangular antiferromagnetic compound (TN∼24 K). The electrical resistivity of this compound displayed metallic behavior and an abrupt decrease atTN. BelowTN, almost linear positive magnetoresistance was observed. On the other hand, just aboveTN, a large negative magnetoresistance of -38% at 8 T was observed. The absolute value of the negative magnetoresistance decreases with increasing temperature. The Hall resistance showed a nonlinear behavior as a function of the magnetic field belowTN. These results suggest that the transport properties of Ag2CrO2are closely related to its unusual antiferromagnetic spin-structure.
