Abstract :
Single crystals of Mo0.5W0.5S2 were grown by chemical vapour transport and direct vapour transporttechniques. The crystals have been characterized by X-ray energy dispersive analysis and X-ray powder diffraction. The dc electrical resistance of the grown single crystals of Mo0.5W0.5S2 was measured in Bridgman anvil set-up to 8 GPa to identify occurrence of structural phase transitions. The drastic changes in electrical resistance were observed at ~2.5 GPa and ~4.6 GPa, and are similar to the structural phase transitions in WS2 single crystals.
