Title: Correlations of crystallographic defects and anisotropy with magnetotransport properties in Fe x TaS 2 single crystals ( 0.23 x 0.35 )

Abstract

Very large magnetoresistance discovered in single crystals of the ferromagnetic Fe-intercalated transition metal dichalcogenide, Fe0.28TaS2 was attributed to the deviation of the Fe concentration from commensurate values (x = 1/4 or 1/3), which caused magnetic moment misalignments. Here we report a study of FexTaS2 crystals with 0:23 ≤ x ≤ 0:35, demonstrating that crystallographic defects lead to spin disorder, which correlates with magneto-transport properties such as switching magnetic fi eld HS, magnetoresistance MR, and even zero-field resistivity ρ0 and temperature coefficient A in ρ(T) = ρ0 + AT2: The ordering temperature TC and Weiss temperature θW are maximized at the superstructure composition x = 1/4, while Hs, MR, ρ0, and A are minimum. Conversely, at a composition intermediate between the superstructure compositions x = 1/4 and 1/3, the corresponding magneto-transport properties reach local maxima.
