Abstract
We give a survey of the structures, electric, magnetic and magnetoresistance properties of the two novel low dimensional rare-earth halide systems, GdI2 and GdIHy (2/3 < y ≤ 1). The large magnetoresistance e.ect observed for GdI2 can be understood on the basis of a conventional spin disorder scattering mechanism, however, strongly magni.ed by the structural anisotropy and the special topology of the Fermi surface. Bound magnetic polarons are formed in GdIHy leading to a metal insulator transition below ~ 30 K. The mobility of the magnetic polarons can be e.ectively modi.ed by external magnetic .fields resulting in the large experimentally found magnetoresistance.

A superstructure formation due to ordering of the vacancies in the H substructure as discussed in more detail in Ref. [33] has not been confirmed yet. However, first rapid thermal quenching of samples from 900 oC to room-temperature revealed marked effects on the electrical properties and support this conjecture [38].
