Synthesis of Tellurium Nanostructures by Physical Vapor Deposition and Their Growth Mechanism

One-dimensional tellurium nanostructures have been prepared by thermal evaporation in a tubular furnace under argon gas flow at a pressure of 1 atm. The depositions were found to occur along the length of the quartz tube with microrods deposited at higher temperatures (350–400 °C) and nanotubes at l...
