ZrSe₃ Crystals

ZrSe₃ Crystals

ZrSe₃ (Zirconium Triselenide) is a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) transition metal trichalcogenide (TMT) with strong anisotropic electrical and optical properties. It has gained significant attention for applications in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and energy storage due to its tunable semiconducting properties, high carrier mobility, and unique excitonic effects. Our ZrSe₃ crystals are synthesized using the Chemical Vapor Transport (CVT) method, ensuring high purity, superior crystallinity, and precise stoichiometry.
