Structural Transformation in Liquid Tellurium from Stillinger–Weber Potential

Thermodynamics of oxygen in dilute liquid silver–tellurium alloys

ABSTRACT The activity coefficient of oxygen [Formula: see text] in liquid Ag and binary Ag-Te dilute alloys were determined between 1,285 and 1,485 K by coulometric titration using the electrochemical cell (Ir, [O] in liquid metal or alloy | yttria stabilized zirconia | air, Pt). The experimental and evaluation procedures described in the literature were adopted. The oxygen activity coefficient...

Pt3Te4 nanoparticles from tellurium nanowires.

We report the synthesis of platinum telluride nanoparticles (Pt(3)Te(4) NPs) in the solution phase at room temperature using a template-assisted method. The dendrimeric aggregates formed are composed of several small units of Pt(3)Te(4) NPs of ∼4 nm diameter. Tellurium nanowires (Te NWs) are used as the template and the reducing agent in the growth of NPs which occurs due to the galvanic replac...

Tellurium and tellurium compounds

Structural and Photoconductivity Properties of Tellurium/PMMA Films.

Owing to the very brittle nature of tellurium powder, nanoscopic grains with an average size of 4.8 ± 0.8 nm were produced by dry vibration milling technique using a mixer/mill apparatus. A novel material was obtained by binding the nanosized tellurium grains with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymer. The morphology, elemental composition, and structural and optical properties of Te/PMMA fi...

Purification and in vitro antioxidant activities of tellurium-containing phycobiliproteins from tellurium-enriched Spirulina platensis

Tellurium-containing phycocyanin (Te-PC) and allophycocyanin (Te-APC), two organic tellurium (Te) species, were purified from tellurium-enriched Spirulina platensis by a fast protein liquid chromatographic method. It was found that the incorporation of Te into the peptides enhanced the antioxidant activities of both phycobiliproteins. With fractionation by ammonium sulfate precipitation and hyd...
