Abstract

A process for the growth of VSe₂ and VTe₂ single crystals using VCl₃ as a transport agent is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. X-ray diffractometry and Laue X-ray photography results indicate that the crystals thus grown are identical in properties to chalcogenide crystals grown using I₂ as a transport agent. The mechanism of chemical vapor transport is discussed and the process conditions are optimized.
