OP5859 Tantalum Telluride Crystal (TaTe2)

Tantalum Telluride Crystal Description

Tantalum Telluride Crystal has a metallic, superconducting (at 0.1K or under applied hydrostatic pressure), and charge density wave behavior at around 160-180K. Environmentally stable monoclinic phase TaTe2 crystals have been synthesized through the flux zone method and chemical vapor transport (CVT) technique. Offered TaTe2 CDW crystals are perfectly layered, oriented in 0001 direction, and thus ready for exfoliation. Our crystals possess extremely low defect concentrations ranging from 1E10 to 1E11 cm^-2. Flux zone-grown TaTe2 crystals come with guaranteed CDW behavior.
