High-quality single crystals of van der Waals transition-metal dichalcogenides provide a versatile platform for exploring quantum phenomena that emerge from layered structures, strong spin–orbit coupling, electron correlations, and polymorphism. Recent advances in crystal growth have enabled precise characterization of topological surface states in PdTe2 and PtSe2, extremely large magnetoresistance and quantum oscillations in WTe2, and polymorph-dependent CDW/superconductivity in TaSe2, and metastable Cr(S,Se)2 realized by topochemical routes. These examples highlight the key role of crystal development in opening a broad landscape for engineered quantum materials.
