“…The remarkable potential of device applications lies in the tunable correlation between the structure and physical properties of ultrathin layers of transition-metal chalcogenides. − Among these transition-metal chalcogenides, chromium telluride (Cr x Te y ) binary phases have gained significant attention because of their potential applications in spintronics. Previously, many binary phases of Cr x Te y (such as, CrTe, CrTe 2 , , Cr 2 Te 3 , − Cr 3 Te 4 , Cr 5 Te 6 , Cr 0.62 Te, and Cr 5 Te 8 , ) have been studied to explore their structure–property relationships. Some Cr–Te binary phases exhibit near room-temperature ferromagnetic properties in bulk and layered forms. ,,, Reportedly, these compounds exhibit ferromagnetic properties, with Curie temperatures ( T C ) ranging from 160 to 340 K, depending on their chromium concentration .…”
