Abstract
Ultrafine particles of tellurium have been produced by the advanced gas-evaporation-method which evaporates tellurium powder from a quartz boat heated by the atmospheric temperature. Particles of 10〜100 nm in size were easily obtained by the present method. The growth condition of hexagonal hollow rod, hexagonal plate, spherical and amorphous particles of tellurium have been determined. Growth and morphology of tellurium ultrafine particles have been discussed on the basis of atmospheric temperature.
