ReS₂ Crystals

ReS₂ Crystals

ReS₂ (Rhenium Disulfide) is a layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) with a unique distorted 1T phase structure, exhibiting in-plane anisotropy, strong spin-orbit coupling, and highly variable electronic and optical properties. Unlike conventional TMDs with hexagonal symmetry, ReS₂ features a triclinic crystal structure that results in highly anisotropic transport and optical responses. It is an the material for applications in optoelectronics, anisotropic electronics, nonlinear optics, and 2D material research. Our ReS₂ crystals are synthesized using the Chemical Vapor Transport (CVT) method, with high purity, high crystallinity, and precise stoichiometry.
