caption_attribution_description: High-resolution cross-sectional HAADF-STEM image of the 60° twin boundary along the [210] zone axis of bismuth telluride: inversed Fourier-filtered image (scale bar is 5 nm). For clarity, the Bi atoms are depicted as purple circles and Te atoms are orange in colour. The atomic structure is mirrored relative to the vertical domain boundary.
context_page_description: Bismuth telluride is a gray powder that is a compound of bismuth and tellurium also known as bismuth(III) telluride. It is a semiconductor, which, when alloyed with antimony or selenium, is an efficient thermoelectric material for refrigeration or portable power generation. Bi₂Te₃ is a topological insulator, and thus exhibits thickness-dependent physical properties.
