Tin telluride Tin telluride Tin telluride is a compound of tin and tellurium (SnTe); is a IV-VI narrow band gap semiconductor and has direct band gap of 0.18 eV. It is often alloyed with lead to make lead tin telluride, which is used as an infrared detector material. Tin telluride normally forms p-type semiconductor (Extrinsic semiconductor) due to tin vacancies and is a low temperature superconductor. SnTe exists in 3 crystal phases. At Low temperatures, where the concentration of hole carriers is less than 1.5x10 cm , Tin Telluride exists in rhombohedral phase also known as α-SnTe. At room temperature and atmospheric
San Tin the area. The Man clan decided to settle in the area in the 15th century. They dried the marshes and gradually filled them with soil, turning them into 800 hectare of rice paddies. This is reflected by the name San Tin, which means "new field"s. The San Tin areas are divided into nine villages within the area most notable areas are Wing Ping Tsuen (), which is close to the Tai Fu Tai Mansion, and Fan Tin Tsuen (). The areas around San Tin are covered in wetlands hence their main products are cabbages (like Chinese cabbage or kai-lan) and
