At least four two- or quasi-one- dimensional allotropes and a mixture of them were theoretically predicted or experimentally observed for low-dimensional Te, namely the {alpha}, b{eta}, {gamma}, {delta} and chiral-{alpha}+{delta} phases. Among them the {gamma} and {alpha} phases were found the most stable phases for monolayer and thicker layers, respectively. Here, we found two novel low-dimensional phases, namely the {epsilon} and {zeta} phases. The {zeta} phase is over 29 meV/Te more stable than and the {epsilon} phase shows comparable stability with the most stable monolayer {gamma} phase. The energetic difference between the {zeta} and {alpha} phases reduces with respect to the increased layer thickness and vanishes at the four-layer (12-sublayer) thickness, while this thickness increases under change doping. Both {epsilon} and {zeta} phases are metallic chains and layers, respectively. The {zeta} phase, with very strong interlayer coupling, shows quantum well states in its layer-dependent bandstructures. These results provide significantly insight into the understanding of polytypism in Te few-layers and may boost tremendous studies on properties of various few-layer phases.
Nanoscrolls (papyrus-like nanostructures) are very attractive structures for a variety of applications, due to their tunable diameter values and large accessible surface area. They have been successfully synthesized from different materials. In this
The phonon properties, electronic structures and optical properties of novel carbon allotropes, such as monolayer penta-graphene (PG), double-layer PG and T12-carbon, were explored by means of first-principles calculations. Results of phonon calculat
The interlayer bonding in two dimensional materials is particularly important because it is not only related to their physical and chemical stability but also affects their mechanical, thermal, electronic, optical, and other properties. To address th
We report the experimental observation of strong electrical magneto-chiral anistropy (eMChA) in trigonal tellurium (t-Te) crystals. We introduce the tensorial character of the effect and determine several tensor elements and we propose a novel intrin
Trigonal tellurium (Te) is a chiral semiconductor that lacks both mirror and inversion symmetries, resulting in complex band structures with Weyl crossings and unique spin textures. Detailed time-resolved polarized reflectance spectroscopy is used to
