MoTe₂ Crystals

MoTe₂ Crystals

MoTe₂ (1T’ phase) is a layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) with electronic and topological properties. The 1T’ phase exhibits a semimetallic nature with spin-orbit coupling, supporting topological insulators, quantum spin Hall effect studies, and electronic devices. MoTe₂ (1T’) crystals are synthesized using the Chemical Vapor Transport (CVT) method.
