Lists of metalloids the literature can also be found to the categorisation of other elements as metalloids. These elements include: hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, zinc, gallium, iodine, lead, and radon (citations are for references other than those listed above). Lists of metalloids This is a list of sources that each list metalloids: elements classified as metalloids. The sources are listed in chronological order. Lists of metalloids differ since there is no rigorous definition of metalloid (or its occasional alias, 'semi-metal'). Individual lists share common ground, with variations occurring at the margins. The elements most often regarded as metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony
Antimony telluride Antimony telluride Antimony telluride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula SbTe. It is a grey crystalline solid with layered structure. Layers consist of two atomic sheets of antimony and three atomic sheets of tellurium and are held together by weak van der Waals forces. SbTe is a narrow-gap semiconductor with a band gap 0.21 eV; it is also a topological insulator, and thus exhibits thickness-dependent physical properties. Antimony telluride can be formed by the reaction of antimony with tellurium at 500–900 °C. Like other binary chalcogenides of antimony and bismuth, SbTe has been investigated for its semiconductor properties.
