Abstract:A manganese telluride (MnTe) is an intriguing polymorphic semiconductor. Among them, the metastable β-MnTe phase, characterized by a wurtzite-type structure, has been successfully fabricated as a sputtered film on substrates. However, the bulk or free-standing β-MnTe without substrates has never been realized. In this study, we fabricated a β-MnTe flake through a lift-off process. Notably, the X-ray diffraction patterns of the flake sample approached the predicted peak positions of bulk β-MnTe, indicating stra… Show more
