Abstract
We present results for the anisotropic diffusion coefficient of selenium, isoelectronic impurity, in Bi2Te3 along the solidus. The single crystals were prepared by travelling heater method and they have a high crystalline quality. The experimental conditions permitted us to obtain a definite stoichiometric deviation, and diffusion profiles were obtained by SIMS. We propose a mechanism of atomic diffusion by antisite defects and thermal vacancies taking into account of the anisotropy of the diffusion coefficients.
