Abstract:

The pressure dependence of electrical resistivity of WSe2 was observed by means of  in situ high pressure electrical resistivity measurement in a   range of 0—48.2 GPa . The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of WSe2 was measured under different  pressures. The results show that the pressure response of the electrical resistivity of WSe2 was associated with the conduction of pressure-|induced ionization of impurity levels; owing to the pressure induced band gap closure, WSe2 sample underwent an isostructural semiconductor\|metal phase transition at 38.1 GPa.

Key words: WSe2, high pressure, electrical resistivity, metallization
