ZrSe₃ Crystals

ZrSe₃ Crystals

ZrSe₃ (Zirconium Triselenide) is a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) transition metal trichalcogenide (TMT) with anisotropic electrical and optical properties. It is studied for applications in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and energy storage due to its variable semiconducting properties, carrier mobility, and excitonic effects. ZrSe₃ crystals are synthesized using the Chemical Vapor Transport (CVT) method.
