Critical region phase transitions in the quasi-2D magnet CrCl3

CrCl3 has been known for a long time to be a quasi-2D ferromagnet (FM) with a specific-heat peak at 16.8K. Its 3D ordering is antiferromagnetic (AFM) with alternating 2D FM sheets perpendicular to the c-axis. Kuhlow [Phys. Stat. Sol. A 72, 161 (1982)] carried out Faraday rotation measurements on CrC...
