We report anisotropic magnetocaloric effect and critical behavior in a quasi-one-dimensional ferromagnetic CrSbSe3 single crystal. The maximum magnetic entropy change \ensuremath-\mathrm\ensuremathΔSMmax is 2.16 J kg^\ensuremath-1\phantom\rule0.16em0exK^\ensuremath-1 for the easy a axis (2.03 J kg^\ensuremath-1\phantom\rule0.16em0exK^\ensuremath-1 for the hard b axis) and the relative cooling power RCP is 163.1 J kg^\ensuremath-1 for the easy a axis (142.1 J kg^\ensuremath-1 for the hard b axis) near Tc with a magnetic field change of 50 kOe. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant Ku is estimated to be 148.5 kJ m^\ensuremath-3 at 10 K, decreasing to 39.4 kJ m^\ensuremath-3 at 70 K. The rescaled \mathrm\ensuremathΔSM(T,H) curves along all three axes collapse onto a universal curve, respectively, confirming the second-order ferromagnetic transition. Further critical behavior analysis around Tc\ensuremath∼70\phantom\rule4pt0exK gives that the critical exponents \ensuremathβ=0.26(1), \ensuremathγ=1.32(2), and \ensuremathδ=6.17(9) for H\ensuremath∥a, while \ensuremathβ=0.28(2), \ensuremathγ=1.02(1), and \ensuremathδ=4.14(16) for H\ensuremath∥b. The determined critical exponents suggest that the anisotropic magnetic coupling in CrSbSe3 is strongly dependent on orientations of the applied magnetic field.
