Abstract

The invention relates to a method used for growth of transition metal chalcogenide crystals via metal fluxing agent method. The method comprises following steps: (1) elementary substance M, elementary substance X, and elementary substance Sn are mixed, an obtained mixture is heated to 1100 to 1150 DEG C at a vacuum degree of 1*10<-3> to 1*10<-4>Pa, and thermal prevention is carried out for 20 to 40h, wherein M is used for representing Cr, Mo, or W, and X is used for representing S, Se, or Te; and (2) the mixture is subjected to first stage temperature reducing at a temperature reducing speed of 1-6 DEG C / h so as to realize crystal spontaneous crystallization, when the temperature is reduced to 900 to 1000 DEG C, thermal preservation is carried out for 20 to 40h, quenching is carried out, and an obtained product is cooled to room temperature in 5 to 10min so as to obtain the transition metal chalcogenide crystals. Operation conditions of the method are easy to realize, and controllable; raw materials are easily available, and are cheap; the obtained transition metal chalcogenide crystals are high in quality; and application prospect in the fields of photon, photoelectric, and electronic devices is promising.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for growing transition metal chalcogen compound crystals by a metal flux method, and belongs to the technical field of crystal growth. Background technique [0002] With the development of science, technology and economy, silicon, the basic support material of the information society, will reach its physical limit, and it is imminent to find alternative materials for silicon. In recent years, it has been discovered that transition metal chalcogenides may surpass graphene as a substitute for silicon due to their excellent semiconductor properties. Moreover, this kind of material also has important application prospects in the fields of photonics and optoelectronics. Transition metal chalcogenides (TMDCs) have the chemical formula MX 2 (M=Cr, Mo, W; X=S, Se, Te), belonging to the hexagonal crystal system, is a layered semiconductor material, and the layers are combined by weak van der Waals force, so it can be peeled o...
