OP5860 Tin Telluride Crystal (SnTe2)

Tin Telluride Crystal Description

Tin Telluride Crystal is a binary compound composed of Tin (Sn) and Tellurium (Te). It is known for its distinct electrical and thermal properties, making it valuable for various applications, particularly in electronics and thermoelectric devices. Single-layer SnTe2 is typically not stable at room temperature. The Te atoms interact strongly with H2O and O2 via small defects. The growth technique eliminates these defects and enables stability at room temperature.
