Abstract
Two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) materials possess novel physical properties and promising applications. A wide range of 2D vdW materials having been obtained via the chemical vapor transport (CVT) method. In this work, we develop the controllable growth meyhod of 2H-NbSe2 single crystals via the CVT method. The quality of fabricated crystals was characterized by X-ray diffraction, and electron dispersive spectrometry (EDS) measurements. Crystals of the best quality were successfully grown under selected temperature/time schedule.
