Vanadium Diselenide Single Crystals: Van der Waals Epitaxial Growth of 2D Metallic Vanadium Diselenide Single Crystals and their Extra-High Electrical Conductivity (Adv. Mater. 37/2017)

In article number 1702359, Yanfeng Zhang and co-workers report a van der Waals epitaxy route for the chemical vapor deposition growth of few-layer metallic 1T-phase VSe₂ crystals on mica substrates, and uncover its extra-high electrical conductivity and thickness-dependent charge-density wave transitions. This work sheds light on the synthesis and property investigations of nanoscale-thickness 2D metallic transition-metal dichalcogenide crystals.
