Metallic Nanowires of Nb3Te4: A Nanostructured Chalcogenide

Group 5 telluride nanostructures have been grown through chemical vapor transport from the elements. The novel nanostructured chalcogenide Nb3Te4 (a cluster of Nb3Te4 nanowires is pictured) is the first example of this type of nanowire grown with a pseudo‐1D structural basis. The wires are single cr...

Description
Summary:Group 5 telluride nanostructures have been grown through chemical vapor transport from the elements. The novel nanostructured chalcogenide Nb3Te4 (a cluster of Nb3Te4 nanowires is pictured) is the first example of this type of nanowire grown with a pseudo‐1D structural basis. The wires are single crystalline with longitudinal axes aligned along the crystallographic c axis. The nanowires are metallic but do not exhibit superconductivity above 1.8 K.
