Annotation | The bulk nanograined Bi2Te3 material was prepared by the microwave assisted solvothermal method and cold isostatic pressure method. It was found that above T* ≈ 190 K the temperature dependence of the specific electrical resistivity of material is of metallic type, while below this temperature a semiconductor conductivity takes place. Within the temperature ΔT ≈ 90 K-35 K interval the electrical conductivity of material can be described by the variable-range hopping conductivity mechanism. Negative magnetoresistance was observed at the same temperature interval. |
