Preliminary studies of properties of oxide thin/thick films for gamma radiation dosimetry

Transition from n- to p-type electrical conductivity induced by ethanol adsorption on α-tellurium dioxide nanowires

“…Various inorganic nanomaterials such as oxides [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], sulfides [9][10][11] and nitrides [12][13][14], as well as elemental materials have been fabricated and characterized [15][16][17][18][19]. One of the oxide semiconductors of interest is tellurium dioxide (TeO 2 ) with physical and chemical properties that make it suitable for various technological applications such as deflectors [20], modulators [21], dosimeters [22,23], optical storage material [24], laser devices [25] and gas sensors [26,27]. Various methods have been used to prepare tellurium oxide materials.…”

“…Lecomte et al [30] deposited TeO 2 thin layers on silica glass substrates by a dip-coating technique from sols prepared in the tellurium isopropoxide-isopropanol-citric acid and water system. Arshak and Korostynska [22] fabricated TeO 2 thin film by using a vapour deposition technique. However, to our knowledge, few * Corresponding author.…”

Enhanced Gas Sensing Properties of Pt-Loaded TeO2Nanorods

“…[1][2][3][4][5] On the other hand, they have several problems to overcome, such as a lack of sensitivity and very low sensitivity to low gas concentrations at room temperature. The development of highly selective and controllably-sensitized devices remains a challenge.…”

Enhancement of the emission from TeO2 nanorods by encapsulation with ZnO

“…The unique physical and chemical properties of Tellurium dioxide (TeO 2 ) make it suitable for a wide range of applications including deflectors [1], modulators [2], dosimeters [3,4], optical storage material [5], laser devices [6], and gas sensors [7,8]. TeO 2 nanorods have been synthesized by a range of techniques such as thermal evaporation of Te powders [11], laser ablation of Te [7], and thermal oxidation of Te in a flow of O 2 with no use of catalyst [12].…”
