The change of magnetic properties due to the replacement of tellurium by selenium in CrTe, which has NiAs structure, was investigated. Ferrcomagnetism is observed in the concentration range from x =0 to x =0.8, where x is defined by Cr(Te 1- x Se x ). The compounds outside this range are para- or antiferromagnetic. In the paramagnetic range of temperature the Curie-Weiss law is found to be valid. It was also found that the Curie-Weiss constant is independent of concentration in the neighbourhood of CrTe and CrSe respectively, and varies abruptly at the transition concentration from ferro-to antiferromagnetic state. A short discussion are given.
