Conductivity anisotropy of layered BiTe-SbTe-heterostructures — •Bogdan Yavorsky1, Nicki Hinsche1, Martin Gradhand1,2, Peter Zahn1, and Ingrid Mertig1,2 — 1Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Institut für Physik, D-06099 Halle — 2MPI für Mikrostrukturphysik, Weinberg 2, D-06120 Halle
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.
