Abstract—
Bi85Sb15 + 0.01 at % Pb materials have been synthesized and their electrical conductivity σ, thermoelectric power α, Hall coefficient RH, and thermal conductivity χ have been measured as functions of temperature and magnetic field. Additional doping with up to 0.1 at % tellurium donor has been shown to compensate for the Pb acceptor effect, leading to an increase in electron concentration in the samples. As a result, σ and α approach those of Bi85Sb15 free of Pb impurities. Heat treatment partially eliminates structural defects, leading to an increase in carrier mobility and lattice thermal conductivity.
