Abstract

The modified Arrott plots and Kouvel-{\text -}Fisher analysis are used to investigate the critical behavior of CrTe1xSbxCrTe_{1-x}Sb_{x} ferromagnetic material near its transition temperature TcT_{c}. The Ferro-{\text -}Paramagnetic transition is found to be a second-{\text -}order phase transition. For x=0.2x=0.2, the critical exponents closely follow the Mean Field Model with the estimated values of the exponents: β\beta =0.60 ±\pm 0.03, γ\gamma =1.00 ±\pm 0.03 and δ\delta =2.67 ±\pm 0.03. We also found with increasing Sb-{\text -}concentrations, the critical exponents significantly deviate from the mean field values and gradually shift towards the 3-{\text -}Dimensional behavior. The deviation may indicate changes in the spin configuration with increasing Sb concentrations.
