Abstract

Single crystals of MoSe_2−xTe_x (x = 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 1.75) were grown by chemical vapor transport technique. The stoichiometric composition of grown crystals was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Transport properties like electrical resistivity, Seebeck co-efficient measurements at high temperature and Hall effect at room temperature were studied on these samples. The obtained results are discussed in details in this paper.
