Anomalous thickness dependence of Curie temperature in air-stable two-dimensional ferromagnetic 1T-CrTe2 grown by chemical vapor deposition

Here, the authors report chemical vapor deposition growth of metallic 1T-CrTe2 ultrathin crystals with controlled thickness and long-range ferromagnetic ordering, and observe a monotonic increase of the Curie temperature with decreasing thickness.
