Abstract
The solid solutions of SnTexSe1-x series have been prepared by mechanical alloying method. The sintered films of the
material were prepared and their electrical properties were investigated. The resistivity and Hall measurements were
performed using Vander-Pauw technique in order to determine Hall-coefficient, carrier concentration and mobility of the
samples. The gradual variation is observed in the properties with compositional changes. The average crystallite size
determined by using Scherrer formula was found to be 25-50nm.
