Abstract

We report the synthesis of stoichiometric NiTe2 single crystals via chemical vapor transport together with precise structural characterization. A combined analysis using powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed to determine lattice parameters and structural details. High-resolution single crystal XRD reveals no evidence of interstitial nickel, confirming a close-to-stoichiometric composition. This work establishes a reliable benchmark for the crystal structure of stoichiometric NiTe2, offering a reference for future studies on its physical properties.
