Mix silver powder, chromium powder, phosphorus powder and sulfur powder evenly to obtain a mixed material; wherein the mass ratio of silver powder, chromium powder, phosphorus powder and sulfur powder is 2.60:1.26:1.49:4.65; S2, vacuum sealing the mixed material obtained in step S1 into a container; S3, placing the container in a dual temperature zone and growing it by chemical vapor transport for 14-18 days to obtain a two-dimensional multiferromagnetic material, wherein 0.20 g-0.40 g of iodine is added as a transport medium; Among them, the hot end temperature of the dual temperature zone is 800±5℃, the cold end temperature of the dual temperature zone is 700±5℃, and the mixed material is located at the hot end.
[0020] In this embodiment, 2.60 g of silver powder, 1.26 g of chromium powder, 1.49 g of phosphorus powder, 4.65 g of sulfur powder, and 0.20 g-0.40 g of iodine were weighed respectively, and they were fully ground and mixed in a glove box to obtain a mixed material. The mixed material was placed in a quartz tube, and the quartz tube was placed on a tube sealing machine. The equipment was started to evacuate the tube until the air pressure in the tube was 1Pa-5Pa, and the vacuum operation was stopped. The quartz tube was sealed at a high temperature of 2000°C-3000°C to keep the air pressure in the tube unchanged.
[0021] The sealed quartz tube is placed in a double-temperature zone furnace tube, and the hot end temperature of the double-temperature zone furnace tube is set to 800°C, and the cold end temperature is set to 700°C. One end of the quartz tube containing the mixed material is located at the hot end of the double-temperature zone furnace tube, and the other end is located at the cold end, so as to collect the gaseous crystals generated during the heating process, and calcine for 14 days through chemical vapor transport method.

The AgCrP2S6 single crystal prepared by the preparation method provided by the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in (b), the AgCrP2S6 single crystal is bright black block.
[0023] Application Examples This application example provides an application of a two-dimensional multiferromagnetic material AgCrP2S6 in the preparation of data storage devices, quantum Hall effect devices, and sensor products. The AgCrP2S6 material in this application example is provided by an embodiment.
[0024] First Experimental Example The samples used in this experimental example are provided in the examples.
[0025] Set the experimental parameters of XRD experiment, with the ab side of the sample facing up, such as Figure 3 As shown in (a), the test sample is fixed on the sample holder with plasticine to ensure that the sample remains stable during the test and does not move or rotate; the test sample is placed in the test position inside the XRD diffractometer for testing. The test results are shown in Figure 3 As shown in (b), there are five diffraction peaks in the figure, (001), (002), (003), (004), and (005). These five peaks represent the orientations of specific crystal planes of the AgCrP2S6 material, indicating that the sample in the embodiment is a single crystal structure.
[0026] Second Experimental Example The samples used in this experimental example are provided in the examples.
[0027] As the external magnetic field increases, the out-of-plane and in-plane magnetic properties of AgCrP2S6 material are shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 shown. Figure 4 (a) shows that after the magnetic field is applied along the c-axis, a spinflop phase transition occurs near 1T, the spin flips from the out-of-plane direction to the in-plane direction, and then the spin begins to tilt toward the out-of-plane direction. At 5T-7T, all the spins are arranged along the out-of-plane direction. Figure 4(b) shows that when the magnetic field is along the ab plane, the spins tilt along the in-plane direction, and finally all along the in-plane direction at 5T-7T. The out-of-plane and in-plane magnetic moments tend to saturation, that is, all spins are arranged in parallel, indicating that the crystal has strong isotropy, which can make it have good application in sensors.
