The dependence of the electrical conductivity, thermoelectric power and figure of merit on the grain size in cold pressed Bi{sub 1.8}Sb{sub 0.2{minus}{ital x}}In{sub {ital x}}Te{sub 2.85}Se{sub 0.15}, where {ital x}=0, 0.01, 0.02 was measured. The influence of the indium content and grain size on the thermoelectric properties is discussed. In this materials the changes of the free carrier concentration are due to the interaction between antisite-defects and vacancies during the sintering. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
