OP5860 Tin Telluride Crystal (SnTe2)

Tin Telluride Crystal Description

Tin Telluride Crystal is a binary compound consisting of tin (Sn) and tellurium (Te). It is recognized for its distinctive electrical and thermal properties, making it valuable in various applications, especially in electronics and thermoelectric devices. Typically monolayer SnTe2 is not stable at ambient. Te atoms interact with H2O and O2 strongly through minor defect sites. The growth technique eliminates defects and enables stability at ambient.
