Magnetotransport measurements on nanostructured Bi1−xSbx alloys — •Matthias T. Elm1, Christian H. Will1, Bernadette Landschreiber2, Ekrem Güneş2, Sabine Schlecht2, and Peter J. Klar11I.

A series of nanostructured Bi1−xSbx alloy samples were prepared by cold pressing of Bi and Sb nanoparticles, which were synthesized by mechanical alloying. The Sb content in the alloys varied between 0% to 50%. Increasing the Sb content strongly influences the band structure resulting in a change of the transport behavior from semi-metallic to semiconducting behavior with a maximum band gap of 41.5 meV at a Sb concentration of around 14% determined from temperature-dependent resistivity measurements. At even higher Sb concentrations the transport behavior becomes semi-metallic again. The change of the band structure was investigated by magnetotransport measurements at a temperature of 30 K in magnetic fields up to 10 T. Using a three band model and taking into account the influence of the magnetic field on the band structure it was possible to describe the magnetic-field induced changes of the magnetoresistance as well as the Hall-constant of the different samples.
