| We studied synthesis and crystal growth of Bi2Te3, Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te2Se compounds by means of vertical Bridgman method. Crystals were grown from stoichiometric melts and under different molar ratio of Bi:Te, Bi:Se or Bi:Te:Se. The obtained crystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and the Hall effect measurements. Some of the samples demonstrated insulating bulk behavior, by means of resistivity versus temperature measurements. |
