Description
Experience the highest-quality 2H-MoTe2 crystals available anywhere. Our premium flux-grown crystals feature exceptionally flat surfaces, ultra-low defect densities, and world-record crystal sizes ~2 cm. These crystals are specifically optimized for large-area exfoliation and are ideally suited for gold-assisted exfoliation techniques.
The superior flatness and uniformity enable the isolation of large monolayer and few-layer flakes with excellent yield and reproducibility. With a bulk band gap of approximately 1.0–1.2 eV and a transition toward direct-gap behavior in the monolayer limit, 2H-MoTe2 is a leading material for next-generation electronics, optoelectronics, photodetectors, and excitonic devices.
