Abstract:The frequencies of the long wave optical phonons in trigonal Se and Te are compared.Differences in the relative frequencies of the A, and A, modes, and in several of the elastic constants as well, are attributed to differences in the intra-and inter-chain bonding. These comparisons are made quantitative by defining reduced lattice dynamical properties in which the nearest and second nearest neighbor distances are used as scaling parameters respectively for the intra-and inter-chain properties. The comparison i… Show more
“…[7][8][9]11,14,23,30,40 In order to substantiate this hypothesis, we have compared the ARS in Figure 1 with the unpolarized RS (Figure 2) and polarized RS of crystalline trigonal Te for different polarizations (see Figure S3 in the SI). As regards our unpolarized and polarized RS of crystalline Te, they are similar to those reported in the literature 9,47,[53][54][55] and show three main bands around 91, 120 and 140 cm -1 corresponding to the three first-order Raman modes E 1 (TO), A1 and E 2 (TO) modes of trigonal Te. We have noted the two E modes of trigonal Te with superindexes 1 and 2 to distinguish for the low and highwavenumber modes, respectively.…”
Two anomalous broad bands are usually found in the Raman spectrum of bulk and 2D Te-based chalcogenides, which include binary compounds, like ZnTe, CdTe, HgTe, GaTe, GeTe, SnTe, PbTe, GeTe2,...

“…Five of the six optical modes are Raman active: one is of type A, and is solely Raman active. the two doubly degenerate type E vibrations are also infrared active (for a review see [13]). We shall denote the low-frequency E-mode E' and the high frequency E-mode E".…”
“…The AFM image of the TeQDs is shown in Figure 2 the TeQDs. 19 The shift towards higher frequencies could be related to the surface effect. As the diameter of the tellurium reduces, the surface area and surface energy would increase drastically.…”
Herein, we report an effective and simple method for producing Tellurium Quantum dots (TeQDs), zero-dimensional nanomaterials with great prospects for biomedical applications. Their preparation is based on the ultrasonic exfoliation of Te powder dispersed in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Sonication causes the van der Waals forces between the structural hexagons of Te to break so that the relatively coarse powder breaks down into nanoscale particles. The TeQDs have an average size of about 4 nm. UV-Vis absorption spectra of the TeQDs showed an absorption peak at 288 nm. Photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and photoluminescence (PL) are used to study the optical properties of TeQDs. Both the PLE and PL peaks revealed a linear relationship against the emission and excitation energies, respectively. TeQDs have important potential applications in biological imaging and catalysis as well as optoelectronics.
