(color online) Thickness dependence of resistance anomaly temperature in ZrTe5 films. (a) The temperature dependence of the resistivity of bulk ZrTe5. The resistance anomaly temperature (Tp) is approximately 140.1 K. (b) Some selected RT curves of thickness ranging from 13 nm to 100 nm. (c) Systematic statics of the thickness-dependent Tp transition. The observed tendency is an initial decrease followed by an increase that is largely sample-dependent, indicating the extreme sensitivity of thin samples.
