Description
Our latest batch of 2H-TaS2 crystals, grown using the flux zone method with 6N or higher purity precursors, includes combined crystal sizes exceeding 1.5 cm—currently the largest available worldwide.
In its 2H-phase, TaS2 is a 2D superconductor with a critical temperature (Tc) of 0.2K, and it exhibits incommensurate charge density waves (CDW) below ~80K. We use the flux zone method to produce defect-free crystals, though we also offer a chemical vapor transport (CVT) option, which may introduce halide contaminants. By default, we provide flux zone-grown 2H-TaS2 crystals, guaranteed to display both superconducting and CDW behavior—making them the only commercially available van der Waals TaS2 crystals with guaranteed CDW responses.
