Intrinsic, two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic semiconductors are an important class of materials for spintronics applications. Cr₂X₂Te₆ ( X = Si and Ge ) semiconductors show 2D Ising-like ferromagnetism, which is preserved in few-layer devices. The maximum magnetic entropy change associated with the critical properties around the ferromagnetic transition for Cr₂Si₂Te₆ - ΔS$$max\atop{M}$$ ~ 5.05 J kg^-1 K^-1 is much larger than - ΔS$$max\atop{M}$$ ~ 2.64 J kg^-1 K^-1 for Cr₂Ge₂Te₆ with an out-of-plane field change of 5 T. The rescaled - ΔS_M(T,H) curves collapse onto a universal curve independent of temperature and field for both materials. Here, this indicates similar critical behavior and 2D Ising magnetism, confirming the magnetocrystalline anisotropy that could preserve the long-range ferromagnetism in a few layers of Cr₂X₂Te₆ .
