Abstract :
Tunneling spectroscopy has been carried out in order to investigate the electronic structure of Bi2-xSnxTe 3. The results are compared with the model of the electronic structure previously proposed by Kulbachinskii et al. The experimental results did not reproduce the model. The tunneling measurements showed that Sn associated electronic states distribute in the lower valence band over a wide energy range
