A1B1-type tellurides of group 14 elements
are of great interest due to their applications as data and energy
storage materials. While the features of ATe (A = Ge, Sn, Pb) have
been determined, there is no report on SiTe in the solid state. Herein,
we review a preexisting controversy in the literature regarding the
Si–Te system and provide
a feasible approach to SiTe.
