研究目的
To synthesize and characterize the structural and electrical properties of SbXW1-XSe2 (0, 0.5) ternary alloys for potential use in high-performance optoelectronic devices.
研究成果
The synthesis of SbXW1-XSe2 ternary alloys via direct vapour transport results in 2H-hexagonal structures with tailored band gaps and n-type semiconducting behavior, demonstrating effective band gap engineering for optoelectronic applications. Future work could explore other compositions and device integration.
研究不足
The growth temperature is high, leading to potential chalcogen vacancies and deep-level defect states, which could affect device performance. The study is limited to specific compositions (X=0, 0.5) and may not cover full compositional range.
