Transport and optical properties of the chiral semiconductor Ag3AuSe2
Abstract Previous band structure calculations predicted Ag3AuSe2 to be a semiconductor with a band gap of approximately 1 eV. Here, we report single crystal growth of Ag3AuSe2 and its transport and optical properties. Single crystals of Ag3AuSe2 were synthesized by slow‐cooling from the melt, and grain sizes were confirmed to be greater than 2 mm using
