Our HfS2 crystals are grown using ultra pure flux vapor technique to produce crystal that are free of halides and vacancy defects. The defect concentration remains lower than 1E9cm-2 for high optical and electronic performance. Our growth technique has been designed and optimized since 2011 to achieve perfect industrial semiconductor grade materials with: 1) excellent stoichiometry, 2) large single domain size, 3) single phase materials without any mixed phases or amorphous content, 4) perfect layered crystal ideal for exfoliation purposes with impressive mosaic spread 0.08 degrees, 5) unmatched purity -semiconductor grade (6N), 99.9999%. 

 

The properties of HfS2 crystals 

Hafnium disulfide (HfS₂) is an indirect gap layered semiconductor in the bulk and becomes direct gap semiconductor in monolayer form.
