Z. Naturforsch. 60a, 408 – 410 (2005); received March 2, 2005 On the basis of the most recently reported spectroscopic data on vibrational modes in TeCl4 and structural parameters of TeCl4, an estimation of its main force constants complemented with the calculation of mean amplitudes of vibration in a wide temperature range have been performed. Also thermodynamic functions for the ideal gaseous...

This review summarizes the synthesis and anti-cancer phototherapy applications of tellurium nanomaterials, puts forward some breakthrough ideas for subsequent applications.

the six elements commonly known as metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. metalloid containing compounds have been used as antiprotozoal drugs. boron-based drugs, the benzoxaboroles have been exploited as potential treatments for neglected tropical diseases. arsenic has been used as a medicinal agent and arsphenamine was the main drug used to treat syphilis....

Tellurium has been primarily used in the steel industry for past 40 years. This material is manufacture of solar cells, lasers, photoresistors, and counters radioactive radiation. Cadmium tellurium batteries are second most popular technology. Another important application thermoelectric generators. In metallurgical industry, as an additive to metals alloys. its compounds enter body mainly thro...

Demonstration of a robust, tellurium-free thermoelectric module for near-room-temperature applications with high conversion efficiency 8.5% and maximum cooling 72 K.

Three different elements, Silicon, Selenium, and Tellurium, are ion-implanted in Gallium arsenide to form a conducting layer that serves as back-gate molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) overgrown two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). While the heavy ion Tellurium creates too many damages gallium layer, both Silicon Selenium show promising results combined with MBE-grown high-quality 2DEGs. Similar 2DEG...
