Synthesis and Characterization of Topological Insulator Bi₂Te₃ Nanowires

Abstract:

Bi₂Te₃ nanowires are prepared by a low-cost and facile hydrothermal method without any surfactant. The structure and morphology of the nanowires are characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscope. The influences of experimental conditions on the products are investigated. The growth mechanism is proposed based on the experimental results. This work is promising for the synthesis of Bi₂Te₃ nanowires with less impurity.
