ZrTe₃ Crystals

ZrTe₃ Crystals

ZrTe₃ is a layered transition metal chalcogenide (TMC) with a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) structure, exhibiting charge density wave (CDW) behavior and electronic properties. Its crystal structure and transport characteristics support studies of low-dimensional physics and applications in electronic devices and 2D materials. ZrTe₃ crystals are synthesized using high-temperature chemical vapor transport (CVT) methods for research.
