Outline of Final Research Achievements

The features of the structures of the tellurium nanoparticles are as follows. (1) The tellurium chains remain even in the tellurium nanoparticles, but the covalent bond strengthen. (2) The interchain interactions as the second structure collapse. We tried to make smaller tellurium nanoparticles in order to make the features clear. The features appear clearly in the tellurium nanoparticles which were made at the liquid nitrogen temperatures and deposited to polyethyleneglycol. This implies that the interchain interactions collapse and the tellurium chains become isolated chains in the tellurium nanoparticles.
