Abstract
A single crystal of a topological material, CoTe2-δ, has been grown via the chemical vapor transport method for a structural and electronic transport study. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, and high-resolution scanning electron microscope measurements confirm the high quality of the as-grown single crystals. In a high-resolution scanning electron microscopy study, a clear layered feature of the trigonal CoTe2-δ crystal was observed. Fractal features and mosaic-type nanostructures were observed on the as-grown surface and cleaved surface, respectively. The trigonal CoTe2-δ demonstrates a metallic ground state in transport measurements, with a typical carrier’s concentration in a 1021 cm−3 magnitude and a residual resistivity ratio of 1.6. Below 10 K, trigonal CoTe2-δ contains quite complicated magnetoresistance behavior as a result of the competing effect between Dirac states and possible spin fluctuations.
