Deposition of nanostructured Te and Te/C particles by excimer laser-induced photolysis of organotelluriums in the liquid phase

Abstract

Excimer laser induced photolysis of dialkyltellurides R₂Te (R=C₂H₅, n-C₅H₁₁) and tellurophene in n-hexane affords nanostructured Te and Te/C particles the surface of which is oxidized in the atmosphere and whose C content depends on the structure of the organotellurium precursor.
