Description
Large size ZrTe5 crystals. Typical sizes are around 1cm and are needle shaped as shown in the product images.
Zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe5) is a Dirac semimetal possessing unique topological electronic and optical properties. ZrTe5 is considered an intriguing Dirac semimetal at the boundary of weak and strong topological insulators. ZrTe5 crystals synthesized by 2Dsemiconductors USA crystallized in the orthorhombic layered structured with space group D2h. The prismatic chains of ZrTe5 run along a-axis and are linked by the zigzag chains of Te along c-axis. These two dimensional layers then stack along b-axis forming the bulk crystal. Our ZrTe5 crystals are mainly grown by two distinct methods listed below;
All crystals come ready for exfoliation
