CuVP₂S₆ (Copper Vanadium Phosphorus Trisulfide)

A layered van der Waals metal phosphochalcogenide of the CuInP₂S₆-related family, space group P2/c, in which Cu⁺ and V cations jointly occupy the octahedral sites of the P₂S₆ framework. It combines (anti)ferroelectric polar order arising from off-centering of the Cu⁺ ions with magnetism from the V magnetic ions, making it one of the few candidate multiferroics that unite ferroelectricity and magnetism in a single two-dimensional material. This coexistence of polar and magnetic order makes CuVP₂S₆ an important platform for studying two-dimensional multiferroicity, magnetoelectric coupling, and spin-polarization coupling.

Sample specifications: Individual crystals measure approximately 3~5 mm, with a purity of up to 99.9999% (6N), and multiple high-quality single-crystal pieces included in each package.

Exfoliation: Easy — readily cleaved into thin flakes by standard mechanical exfoliation.

Growth method: Chemical vapor transport (CVT).
