“…Such a binary compound may open the way to new applications in optoelectronic devices once the high quality single crystal can be obtained. Several methods have been reported for the crystal growth of γ-CuI, such as the high-temperature sublimation method, the sol−gel method, the flux method, the cycle-evaporation method, and the hydrothermal method. − But to our knowledge, until now, large crystals with optical quality have not been reported, and moreover, mobility of p-type CuI single crystals is rather unknown.…”
