In this article, we studied the magnetic and transport properties by magnetization, resistivity, and specific heat measurements for EuCu4As2 crystals with a rhombohedral structure. Strongly anisotropic magnetism and rich magnetic phases were observed under magnetic field in this compound. Interestingly, we observed two types of magnetoresistance: a large negative magnetoresistance (-55%, at 35 K, 9 T) near the magnetic transition temperature, due to reduction of magnetic scattering under magnetic field; a large positive magnetoresistance (60% at 2 K, 9 T) at lower temperatures when Eu2+ moments ordering ferromagnetically, similar to that observed in the non-magnetic isostructural analogue SrAg4As2 with possible nontrivial topological bands, which may be related to its special band structure.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.
