Abstract
Palladium diselenide (PdSe2) is an important transition metal dichalcogenide with a layers-dependent bandgap and many potential applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, the availability of high-quality large-area crystals with phase control is still challenging. Herein, we report the successful growth of large-area PdSe2 single crystals using the self-flux method. The crystal structure, quality, and elemental composition were characterized by X-ray Diffraction, Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, and High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR TEM). The Raman-active vibrational modes of PdSe2 were identified using polarized Raman spectroscopy. The controlled synthesis of PdSe2 enables the potential for a broad range of heterostructures and further integrated optical and electro-optical applications.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
