Experiment and Theory in Concert To Unravel the Remarkable Electronic Properties of Na-Doped Eu₁₁Zn₄Sn₂As₁₂: A Layered Zintl Phase.

ABSTRACT: Low-dimensional materials have unique optical, electronic, mechanical, and chemical properties that make them desirable for a wide range of applications. Nano-scaling materials to confine transport in at least one direction is a common method of designing materials with low-dimensional electronic structures. However, bulk materials give rise to low-dimensional electronic structures when bonding is highly anisotropic. Layered Zintl phases are excellent candidates for investigation due to their directional bonding, structural variety, and tunability. However, the complexity of the structure and composition of many layered Zintl phases poses a challenge for producing phase-pure bulk samples to characterize. Eu₁₁Zn₄Sn₂As₁₂ is a layered Zintl phase of
