Van der Waals ferromagnetic materials have recently prompted excitement for their possible device applications. These materials are often highly air sensitive, setting a limit on experimental techniques that allow for the characterization of long-range ferromagnetism in the two-dimensional limit. In collaboration with the Goldberger group at The Ohio State University, we study the newly synthesized air-stable metallic layered ferromagnet Cr_xPt_1-xTe₂. This novel magnetic random Cr-alloy has the stability of the transition metal dichalcogenide PtTe₂. Flakes of Cr_xPt_1-xTe₂ were mechanically exfoliated and characterized through atomic force microscopy and optical imaging. We present preliminary results of electronic transport measurements at low temperatures of quasi two-dimensional Cr_xPt_1-xTe₂ crystals.
