The critical properties of flux-grown single-crystalline quasi-two-dimensional weak itinerant ferromagnet Cr_0.62 Te were investigated by bulk dc magnetization around the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition. Critical exponents β = 0.315 ( 7 ) with a critical temperature T_c = 230.6 ( 3 ) K and γ = 1.81 ( 2 ) with T_c = 229.1 ( 1 ) K are obtained by the Kouvel-Fisher method whereas δ = 6.35 ( 4 ) is obtained by a critical isotherm analysis at T c = 230 K. With these obtained exponents, the magnetization-field-temperature curves collapse into two independent curves following a single scaling equation M | T-T_c/T_c|^-β = f ± ( H |T-T_c/T_c|^{-β δ} ) around T_c , suggesting the reliability of the obtained exponents. Additionally, the determined exponents of Cr _0.62Te exhibit an Ising-like behavior with a change from short-range order to long-range order in the nature of magnetic interaction and with an extension from two to three dimensions on cooling through T_c.
