Free-standing millimetre-long Bi2Te3 sub-micron belts catalyzed by TiO2 nanoparticles

Physical vapour deposition (PVD) is used to grow millimetre-long Bi2 Te3 sub-micron belts catalysed by TiO2 nanoparticles. The catalytic efficiency of TiO2 nanoparticles for the nanostructure growth is compared with the catalyst-free growth employing scanning electron microscopy. The catalyst-coated...
