Mn2P2S6 and MnNiP2S6 are members of the transition metal phosphorus trichalcogenide family which belongs to the layered van der Waals (vdW) materials class. Such compounds are considered to be attractive for designing novel spintronic devices due to their remarkable structural and magnetic properties. Here we report the electron spin resonance studies on single crystals of Mn2P2S6 and MnNiP2S6 using an X-band (9.56 GHz) spectrometer. Measurements were done in a wide temperature range and at various angles between the applied magnetic field and crystal axes. The obtained spectra can be well fitted to the Lorentzian lineshape enabling an accurate determination of the linewidth and the resonance field. Remarkably, the angular temperature dependences of the linewidth show signatures of the low-dimensional spin-spin correlations in the pure Mn compound whereas the mixed compound demonstrates a rather three-dimensional behaviour.
