Antiferromagnetic system with stripe magnetic order provides a potential platform for the investigation of possible unconventional superconductivity. Here we report interesting new results that possibly indicate the development of superconductivity in chemically doped CrSb 1 + δ . Electrical and magnetic measurements on CrSb 1 + δ , with δ varying between 0.05 and 0.1, reveal field‐dependent properties that are usually observed in a superconductor. The transition to a possible superconducting state is found to occur at T = 8.8 K. The observation of possible superconducting state in CrSb 1 + δ will shed new light on the origin of the unconventional superconductivity in magnetic material with long‐range antiferromagnetic stripe order.
