Comparative study of Kondo effect in Vanadium dichalcogenides VX${}_2$ (X=Se & Te)

Abstract

We report on the electrical transport, magnetotransport, and magnetic properties studies on the transition metal dichalcogenides VSe${}_2$ and VTe${}_2$ and draw a comprehensive comparison between them. We observe Kondo effect in both systems induced by the exchange interaction between localized moments and conduction electrons at low temperature, resulting into resistance upturn at 6 K for VSe${}_2$ and 17 K for VTe${}_2$. From the field dependent resistance measurements we find that the data is fitted best with modified Hamann equation corrected by the quantum Brillouin function for VSe${}_2$, while the data is fitted best with modified Hamann equation corrected by the classical Langevin function for VTe${}_2$. Interestingly, we observe a contrasting magnetoresistance (MR) property between these systems across the Kondo temperature. That means, negative MR is found in both systems in the Kondo state. In the normal state MR is positive for VSe${}_2$, while it is negligible for VTe${}_2$. In addition, both systems show weak ferromagnetism at low temperature due to intercalated V atoms.
