Abstract
- We study intrinsic charge-carrier scattering mechanisms and determine their contribution to the transport properties of the two-dimensional ferromagnet Fe<subscript>3</subscript>GeTe<subscript>2</subscript>. We use state-of-the-art first-principles calculations combined with the model approaches to elucidate the role of the electron-phonon and electron-magnon interactions in the electronic transport. Our findings show that the charge carrier scattering in Fe<subscript>3</subscript>GeTe<subscript>2</subscript> is dominated by the electron-phonon interaction, while the role of magnetic excitations is marginal. At the same time, the magnetic ordering is shown to effect essentially on the electron-phonon coupling and its temperature dependence. This leads to a sublinear temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity near the Curie temperature, which is in line with experimental observations. The room temperature resistivity is estimated to be ~ 35 μΩ ⋅ cm which may be considered as a lower intrinsic limit for monolayer Fe<subscript>3</subscript>GeTe<subscript>2</subscript>.
