Fig. 2&3 Tellurization Rate (IMAGE) Institute for Basic Science Caption Figure 2: Tellurization rate in relation to temperature and Na content. Below the dissociation temperature of MoTe2 (700 °C), IBS scientists found out that semiconducting molybdenum ditelluride (2H-MoTe2) is favored at low temperatures, and its metallic version (1T'-MoTe2) at higher temperatures.
