The AA ’P 2 S 6 ( A , A ’ = transition metal ions) family of quasi-two-dimensional van der Waals materials has proven to be a model system for low-dimensional magnetism. These materials provide an ideal platform to study the Hamiltonians of fundamental magnetism models, including the Ising, XY, and Heisenberg models. Here we present detailed 31 P NMR measurements on single-crystal samples of A CrP 2 S 6 . The high-temperature single narrow NMR line shows a splitting at about 160 K for CuCrP 2 S 6 , which is due to the antiferroelectric transition, while a pake−doublet NMR spectrum is observed for AgCrP 2 S 6 at room temperature. In CuCrP 2 S 6 , we observed further line splitting below 30 K, reflecting the antiferromagnetic (AFM) order. At TN = 30 K, the NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate T1−1 (T) in CuCrP 2 S 6 shows a sharp peak due to the critical fluctuations. The temperature dependence of (T1T)−1 shows a broad maximum at about 60 K and a critical enhancement at TN . TN are anisotropic near the critical regime. AgCrP 2 S 6 exhibits AFM order at 20 K, as evidenced by the clear splitting of the NMR spectra and the divergence of T1−1 (T) at TN . In contrast to CuCrP 2 S 6 , the temperature dependence of (T1T)−1 shows only a critical enhancement around TN without a broad anomaly.
