Description

Transport properties of ordered bismuth and antimony tellurides are studied theoretically based on first-principle electronic structure calculations using a screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Greens function method. The anisotropy of the electron mobility both in the bulk materials and in layered BiTe-SbTe-heterostructures is analyzed within the relaxation time approximation of the Boltzmann theory. The influence of doping on the electrical conductivity is discussed applying the rigid band approximation.
