Abstract

Bi2Te2Se is one of the most promising three dimensional topological insulators, for the study of surface states. In this work, we report the results of transport and magneto-transport behavior of Bi2Te2+xSe1–x (x=0.05 and 0.10) single crystals grown using modified Bridgeman technique. Resistance versus temperature measurements show semiconducting behavior for x = 0.05 and 0.10 crystals. Linear magnetoresistance is observed for Bi2Te2.05Se0.95 (i.e. x=0.05) whereas, Bi2Te2.10Se0.90 (x=0.10) single crystal shows a conductance fluctuations at low magnetic field.
