Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are van der Waals layered materials with sizable and tunable bandgaps, offering promising platforms for two-dimensional electronics and optoelectronics. To this end, the bottleneck is how to acquire…
The van der Waals magnets CrX$_3$ (X = I, Br, and Cl) exhibit highly tunable magnetic properties and are promising candidates for developing novel two-dimensional (2D) magnetic devices such as magnetic tunnel junctions and spin tunneling…
A description is given of the traveling solvent technique, which has been used for the crystal growth of both congruently and incongruently melting materials of many classes of intermetallic, chalcogenide, semiconductor and oxide materials.…
Flux growth of single crystals is normally performed in a vertical configuration with an upright refractory container holding the flux melt. At high temperatures, flux dissolves the charge forming a homogeneous solution before nucleation…
Transition metals dichalcogenides (TMDs) are an emergent class of low-dimensional materials with growing applications in the field of nanoelectronics. However, efficient methods for synthesizing large mono-crystals of these systems are…
The layered honeycomb magnet $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ is the most promising candidate for a Kitaev quantum spin liquid (KQSL) that can host charge-neutral Majorana fermions. Recent studies have shown significant sample dependence of thermal…

Vapor transportation is the core process in growing transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). One inevitable problem is the spatial inhomogeneity of the vapors. The non-stoichiometric supply of…
Thorough mixing of the starting materials is the first step of a crystal growth procedure. This holds true for almost any standard technique, whereas the intentional separation of educts is considered to be restricted to a very limited…
