| Abstract Scope |
This paper presents recent progress in growing Tellurium (Te) based semiconductor phases in reduced dimensions. Specifically, the semiconducting Te phase investigated in our study is synthesized by the wet chemistry routes in which Te containing compounds are placed in weakly reactive chemical environment. Self-catalytic dissolution and precipitation of Te process facilitates the growth of Te phase in highly anisotropic crystallographic plane, leading to either nanowire or nanoplate. These Te shows the electrical properties typical of phases under quantum confinement, represented by the increased band-gap and high carrier mobility. The growth mechanism responsible for the Te in reduced dimension and evidence for the quantum confinement effect will be discussed along with key supporting evidences. |
