| contents | Tellurium atomic helices are currently attracting increasing attention. However, to date individual tellurium atomic helices have only been grown encapsulated in host materials. A bare free-standing tellurium atomic helix has yet to be realized experimentally despite the fundamental interest of these systems. Here DFT-based simulations are presented that show that a pristine tellurium atomic helix can be drawn from a tellurium crystal with the help of a gold STM tip, paving the way to a better understanding of tellurium atomic helices. |
