Toward Single Atom Chains with Exfoliated Tellurium

Toward Single Atom Chains with Exfoliated Tellurium

Abstract We demonstrate that the atom chain structure of Te allows it to be exfoliated as ultra-thin flakes and nanowires. Atomic force microscopy of exfoliated Te shows that thicknesses of 1–2 nm and widths below 100 nm can be exfoliated with this method. The Raman modes of exfoliated Te match thos...
