Spin-birefringence in molecular currents: Tellurium and gold complexes

We simulate the spin-flip current and transmission function through rings containing elements with a spin–orbit interaction. In a previous study (J. Chem. Phys. 123 (2005) 204714) we predicted that such a system can show spin-birefringence, i.e., a spin current polarized parallel to the molecular axis can flip its direction due to a phase lag due to the spin–orbit interaction. Here we demonstra...

Weyl Node and Spin Texture in Trigonal Tellurium and Selenium.

We study Weyl nodes in materials with broken inversion symmetry. We find based on first-principles calculations that trigonal Te and Se have multiple Weyl nodes near the Fermi level. The conduction bands have a spin splitting similar to the Rashba splitting around the H points, but unlike the Rashba splitting the spin directions are radial, forming a hedgehog spin texture around the H points, w...

Lithium–tellurium batteries based on tellurium/ porous carbon composite

For the first time, lithiation/delithiation behavior of tellurium at room temperature was investigated using tellurium/porous carbon (Te/C) composite electrodes. The Te/C composite is synthesized by the infusion of liquid tellurium into a porous carbon host at the high temperature of 600 C under vacuum. Owing to the physical confinement of Te by porous carbon matrix, the Te/C electrode is capab...

A tellurium-substituted Lindqvist-type polyoxoniobate showing high H(2) evolution catalyzed by tellurium nanowires via photodecomposition.

A new tellurium-substituted Lindqvist-type polyoxoniobate [H2TeNb5O19](5-) was synthesized as a tetramethylammonium salt. When irradiated with a Xe lamp, a water-methanol solution of this cluster showed exceptionally high H2-evolution activity suggesting cocatalysis by the hexaniobate cluster and metallic tellurium, both of which are formed as photodecomposition products.
