Dimensional Confinement Driven Scattering Inversion in NaCrTe$_2$ (opens in new tab)

Dimensionality reduction provides a powerful route to tune the electronic and magnetic properties of van der Waals materials, yet its influence on electronic transport remains complex due to competing effects from quantum confinement and modified scattering mechanisms. Here, we investigate this interplay in an antiferromagnetic semiconductor $\text{NaCrTe}_2$ using first-principles calculations combined with the Boltzmann transport equation beyo...
