abstract = {We report the low-temperature properties of 11B enriched
single-crystal CrB2 as prepared from high purity Cr and B
powder by a solid-state reaction and optical float-zoning.
The electrical resistivity, ρxx, Hall effect, ρxy, and
specific heat, C, are characteristic of an exchange-enhanced
Fermi liquid ground state, which develops a slightly
anisotropic spin gap Δ≈220~K below TN=88~K. This
observation is corroborated by the absence of a Curie
dependence in the magnetisation for T→ 0 reported in the
literature. Comparison of C with dxx=dT , where we infer
lattice contributions from measurements of VB2, reveals
strong antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations with a
characteristic spin fluctuation temperature Tsf≈257~K in
the paramagnetic state, followed by a pronounced second
order mean-field transition at TN, and unusual excitations
around ≈TN/2. The pronounced anisotropy of ρxx above TN
is characteristic of an easy-plane anisotropy of the spin
fluctuations consistent with the magnetisation. The ratio of
the Curie-Weiss to the Neel temperatures, f=−ΘCW/TN≈
8.5, inferred from the magnetisation, implies strong
geometric frustration. All physical properties are
remarkably invariant under applied magnetic fields up to
14~T, the highest field studied. In contrast to earlier
suggestions of local moment magnetism our study identifies
CrB2 as a weak itinerant antiferromagnet par excellence with
strong geometric frustration.},
