General Description
Titanium diselenide (TiSe2) is a family member of Group IV transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), and is of great interest as one of the typical charge density wave (CDW) materials. It is known that the CDW characteristics of TiSe2 can be changed; they are typically suppressed. In some cases, this leads to superconductivity or magnetic order by applying high pressure or intercalation.
TiSe2 has an octahedral crystal structure (1T, space group D3d) with van der Waals stacked layers. Monolayer TiSe2 consists of stacked Se–Ti–Se atomic layers, in which Ti and Se atoms are strongly bound within the layer. 1T-TiSe2 undergoes a phase transition from a semimetal (1 × 1 × 1 normal phase) to a commensurate CDW (2 × 2 × 2 CDW) at around 200 K.
Applications
Titanium diselenide has potential applications in optoelectronics, advanced low‐power electronics, superconductors, voltage-controlled oscillators, and ultra-fast electronics.
Synthesis
Titanium diselenide is manufactured using chemical vapour transport (CVT) crystallisation, with crystals having a purity in excess of 99.999%.
Usage
Titanium diselenide single crystals can be used to prepare monolayer and few-layer TiSe2 by mechanical or liquid exfoliation.
