| contents | The emergence of negative longitudinal magnetoresistance in the topologically non-trivial transition-metal dichalcogenide PtSe$_2$ is studied. Low $T$/high $μ_0 H$ transport is performed for arbitrary field directions, and an analytical framework is established. The source of the negative longitudinal magnetoresistance is identified as the Kondo effect stemming from Pt-vacancies contributing an uncompensated spin, exclusively at the sample surface. The concentration of vacancies and the sample thickness are identified as tuning parameters. The findings are substantiated by density functional theory, which corroborates the proposed Pt-vacancy model. |
