Ternary nickel sulfides A(2)Ni(3)S(4) (A = K, Rb, Cs) are layered-stru
cture crystals with alignment of Ni2+ ions in the kagome lattice. The
magnetic behaviors of them were unknown, so we have performed the crys
tal growth and measured the electric resistance and the magnetic susce
ptibility. The results for Rb2Ni3S4 were shown in this report. (C) 199
