Abstract :
Galvanomagnetic properties of multicomponent solid solutions of n-Bi2-xSbxTe3-y-zSeySz composition were studied in weak and intermediate magnetic fields. Components of the effective mass tensor mi/mj were determined in the framework of the many-valley energy spectrum model using the isotropic scattering mechanism for a variety of solid solution compositions and electron concentrations. The influence of constant-energy surface parameters on the solid solutions thermoelectric efficiency was analyzed.
