✦ Synopsis


The layered ternary tellurides NbNiTe 5 , TaNiTe 5 , TaPtTe 5 suggests that the large conductivity difference results from the different Te•••Te interlayer interactions and the Te Ǟ M and NbPdTe 5 are all metallic, but the conductivity of the latter is between one and two orders of magnitude smaller. A (M = Nb, Ta) electron transfer that they induce. tight binding study of the electronic structure of these phases density of states at the Fermi level for the two phases, and
