Effect of High Magnetic Field on the Fabrication of One-dimensional Tellurium Microstructures via a Solvothermal Treatment
The magnetic-field-assisted solvothermal approach has been used in the shape-controlled growth of Te microcrystals. By applying a high magnetic field to the reaction system, the shape of obtained Te microcrystals Could be changed greatly. Various techniques Such as X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy have been used to characterize the obtained products. The results show that the magnetic field plays a key role in the growth behavior of Te microcrystals. The possible cause of magnetic field effects is discussed.
