Abstract

We present self flux growth and characterization of single crystalline AlMn2_2B2_2. It is an orthorhombic (space group Cmmm), layered material with a plate like morphology. The anisotropic bulk magnetization data, electrical transport and 11^{11}B nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) data revealed an antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition at 313 ±\pm 2 K. In the magnetization data, there is also a broad local maximum significantly above the AFM transition that could be a signature of low dimensional magnetic interactions in AlMn2_2B2_2.
