Title: Possibility of metallic intercalation of transition-metal dichalcogenide crystals during their growth from vapor phase

OSTI ID:5679839

The proper thermodynamic characteristics of vapor-transport systems, used for simultaneous processes of growth and intercalation of layered crystals, may be determined directly from tensimetric investigations of heterogeneous equilibria in dichalcogenide layered structure-intercalating metal-transport agent systems. It serves the purpose of optimizing the deposition conditions of intercalates from the vapor phase. Investigation of the simultaneous growth and intercalation processes of layered crystals reveals the possibility of producing layered crystals with alternate layers of intercalating metals in streaming vapor-transport systems and of creating different physical properties in the bulk of the matrix through sandwiching.
