2014 The orbital chemical shift of N.M.R., which measures the weight of non-s states in the chemical bond, can be related directly to the ionicity for tellurium compounds. In a molecular picture of the solid neglecting d states, the shift is a parabolic function of the number of p-electrons in the valence band. This number depends simply on the ionicity for tellurium bonds and can be modified b...

The through-thickness thermoelectric behavior of continuous carbon fiber epoxy-matrix composites is greatly improved by adding tellurium particles (13 vol.%), bismuth telluride particles (2 vol.%) and carbon black (2 vol.%). The thermoelectric power is increased from 8 to 163 lV/K, the electrical resistivity is decreased from 0.17 to 0.02.X.cm, the thermal conductivity is decreased from 1.31 to...

a tellurium dioxide crystal is presented. The all-optical acousto-optic effect describes the combination of laser generated ultrasound with acousto-optic interaction. Laser generated ultrasound spectra are analyzed for tellurium dioxide using a 266 nm and a 1064 nm pulsed source, and used to characterize the acoustooptic interaction. The interaction is shown to be dominated by longitudinal acou...

We present the results of neutron and X-ray scattering experiments on liquid tellurium. No dependence on temperature of the radius and the coordination number of the first neighbour shell has been found in the temperature range between 460 °C and 550 °C. We investigate the influence of the truncation of the Fourier transformation on the determined coordination number of nearest neighbours and o...

in this research, tellurium (te) film with thicknesses of 100-250 nm were deposited on ceramic substrates by thermal evaporation at 373 k. the thickness of the film was determined by rutherford backscattering spectroscopy. the influence of the thickness on the structural, morphological and molecular bonds was characterized using xrd, scanning electron microscope, and raman spectroscopy. the xrd...

Well-defined tellurium nanorods have been prepared by the photolysis of (t)Bu2Te2 in an aqueous micellar system incorporating dodecanethiol as an auxiliary morphology-directing agent.

tellurium (te) nanostructures have been successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal methodfrom the reaction of a tecl4 aqueous solution with thioglycolic acid (tga) as a reductant. tga can be easily oxidized to the corresponding disulfide [sch2co2h]2, which in turn can reduce tecl4 to te. the obtained te was characterized by xrd, sem, eds, and drs. the effect of reducing agent on morphol...
