Abstract

Large SnSe single crystals of high metallurgical quality have been grown by a closed tube vapor phase technique. Hall measurements on annealed and quenched samples were performed to establish the stability range of the compound. The crystals are p-type with hole concentrations between 3 × 1015 and 2 × 1018 cm−3 and mobilities up to 7 × 103 cm /Vs at 77 K.
