Grain boundary structure of two-dimensional tellurium revealed by 4D STEM
The recent realization of 2D tellurium (tellurene) has allowed scientists to demonstrate an air-stable monoelemental van der Waals material with remarkable potential for applications in electronics and optoelectronics. The chiral-chain structure of ultrathin Te allows controllable electronic and optical properties due to the non-monotonic carrier mobility and an increase in electronic band-gap as the thickness is reduced. Scalable and accurate production of 2D Te-based functional devices will require detailed knowledge of structural defects and strain field distributions that can be linked to transport properties.
