Preparation and properties of P-type Bi2Te3-based materials with high preferred orientation
Using the Bi0.4Sb1.6Te3+3%Te (mass fraction) melting crystal rods as the raw materials, the alloy ingots with good orientation were prepared by water-cooled copper crucible maglev melting technology. The P-type Bi2Te3-based alloy powders were obtained by

Synthesis and thermoelectric characterization of Bi2Te3 nanoparticles
We report a novel synthesis for near monodisperse, sub-10-nm Bi2Te3 nanoparticles. At first, a new reduction route to bismuth nanoparticles is described which are applied as starting materials in the formation of rhombohedral Bi2Te3 nanoparticles.

Non-Dirac topological surface states in (SnTe)$_{n\geq2}$(Bi$_2$Te$_3$)$_{m=1}$ [PDF]
A new type of topological spin-helical surface states was discovered in layered van der Waals bonded (SnTe)$_{n=2,3}$(Bi$_2$Te$_3$)$_{m=1}$ compounds which comprise two covalently bonded band inverted subsystems, SnTe and Bi$_2$Te$_3$, within a building ...
