In this work we investigated the growth of Bi2Se3 topological insulator by gasphase transports. The obtained crystals have been characterized by SEM, TEM, AFM, EDX and XRD. To understand the growth mechanisms we performed thermodynamic modelling with the program Tragmin. The experimental growth of Bi2Se3 has been simply done by decomposition sublimation. By synthesis of Bi2Se3-layers thin (≈ 10 nm), singlecrystalline crystals was deposited on the Si/SiO2–substrate. For instance nanoribbons with a crystal size in a, b–direction between 3–40 µm and up to 70 µm for nanowires. The manganese-doped Bi2Se3 crystals were grown by chemical transport reaction. For this purpose powder of Mn/Bi/Se with different Mn content and Iodine as a transport agent was used. Several experiments showed the possibility of a gasphase transport of Mn/Bi/Se-powder with a high Mn content in a gradient △ T < 100 K. In this case, crystals of MnBi2Se4 was deposited on the Si/SiO2–substrate.
