From: Tellurium as a successor of silicon for extremely scaled nanowires: a first-principles study
a Formation energies of all t-Te nanowires and Tellurene nanoribbons and b zoomed in formation energies as a function of total number of Te-helices or total cross-sectional area. 1L, 2L, and 3L stand for monolayer, bilayer, and trilayer nanoribbons, respectively. The dotted lines are power fits to guide the eye.
