Graphical Abstract

Bi2Te3-Nanoschichten wurden durch oberflächenunterstützten chemischen Dampftransport auf Si-Trägern synthetisiert. Die zerknüllten Bi2Te3-Schichten wachsen in der Basalebene der hexagonalen Struktur und weisen typische Dicken von ≤3 nm auf (siehe Bild; Te violett, Bi grün). Raman-Studien zeigen, dass zur Auslenkung entlang der c-Achse gehörende Moden, die im Festkörper inaktiv sind, in den Bi2Te3-Schichten aktiv werden.
