Abstract: The temperature dependence of the normalized resistance of Nb3Te4 single crystal was measured finder different magnetic fields and different electric fields around T1=100K. It was found that magnetic fieldssuppress the kystercsis of the phase transition temperature, and electric fields broaden tile hysteresis. Thetemperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Nb3Te4 single crystal showed that antimagnetiesignal occurs below T2=50K.
