Description

Zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe5) is a Dirac semimetal possessing unique topological electronic and optical properties. ZrTe5 is considered an intriguing Dirac semimetal at the boundary of weak and strong topological insulators. ZrTe5 crystals synthesized by 2Dsemiconductors USA crystallized in the orthorhombic layered structured with space group D2h. The prismatic chains of ZrTe5 run along a-axis and are linked by the zigzag chains of Te along c-axis. These two dimensional layers then stack along b-axis forming the bulk crystal. Our ZrTe5 crystals are mainly grown by two distinct methods listed below;

Usually these crystals will come deposited on platelets ready for exfoliation 

Growth methods of ZrTe5 crystals by 2Dsemiconductors USA

Chemical vapor transport (CVT)
  • Commonly used in the field
  • Contains higher number of defects
  • Contains halide impurities (iodine, bromine, and metalo-halides)
  • Fast growth but lower crystallization
Flux zone technique
  • Growth takes place over 3-4 months timeframe
  • No transport agents
  • High crystal quality
  • 99.9999% rated quality
  • Record level low defects (1E10cm-2 defect concentration or lower)
  • High environmental stability
