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.
