Description
FeTe Layered Superconductor Crystals
FeTe (Iron Telluride) is a van der Waals (vdW) layered material and serves as the parent compound of the simplest family of iron-based superconductors.
-
The crystal structure features stacked FeTe layers, where a square lattice of Fe atoms is sandwiched between two sparser chalcogen (Te) layers.
-
This unique structure enables tunable superconducting, magnetic, and electronic behavior, making FeTe a foundation for exploring novel correlated electron systems.
High-Quality Growth via Flux Zone Method
Our FeTe crystals are grown using the Flux Zone Growth method, which offers:
-
Superior crystallinity
-
Minimal defects and impurities
-
Ideal properties for superconductivity, transport studies, and fundamental research
