摘要: Manipulating the self-assembly of transition metal telluride nanocrystals (NCs) creates opportunities for exploring new properties and device applications. Iron ditelluride (FeTe2) has recently emerged as a new class of magnetic semiconductor with three-dimensional (3D) magnetic ordering and narrow band gap structure, yet the self-assembly of FeTe2 NCs has not been achieved. Herein, the tree-like FeTe2 nanoarchitectures with orthorhombic crystal structure have been successfully synthesized by hot-injection solvent thermal approach using phosphine-free Te precursor. The morphology, size, and crystal structure have been investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), and powder x-ray diffraction (XRD). We study the formation process of tree-like FeTe2 NCs according to trace the change of the sample morphology with the reaction time. It was found that the FeTe2 nanoparticles show oriented aggregation and self-assembly behavior with the increase of reaction time, which is attributed to size-dependent magnetism properties of the samples. The magnetic interaction is thought to be the driving force of nanoparticle self-organization.
