Propriétés des lames évaporées de tellure

Abstract
Tellurium films deposited on a substrate kept at room temperature are composed of micro-cristals and amorphous portions ; while those deposited on a hot substrate are well cristallized. Resistivity of the films is much affected by amorphous portions. From the measurements of the infra-red absorption, the energy state of micro-cristal has been found to be nearly the same as that of the bulk cristal. The amorphous deposit seems to change its energy state by absorbing various kind of gas.
