Description

Nb/sub 2/Se/sub 9/ single crystals were grown from the liquid solution of niobium in selenium. The crystals have been characterized by X-ray diffraction. Resistivity measurements in the temperature range 200 < T < 500 K revealed a semiconducting behaviour with an activation energy of 0.72 eV. The resistivity at room temperature is about 3 . 10/sup 5/ Ωcm
