Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 3}-Sb{sub 2}Te{sub 3}-Sb{sub 2}Se{sub 3} alloys with Sb{sub 2}Te{sub 3} and Sb{sub 2}Se{sub 3} contents up to 10 mol%, e.g., the 90% Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 3}-5% Sb{sub 2}Te{sub 3}-5% Sb{sub 2}Se{sub 3} alloy, are among the best n-type thermoelectric materials for Peltier coolers used near room temperature. In this work, the electrical and thermoelectric properties of Sbl{sub 3}doped 90% Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 3}-5% Sb{sub 2}Te{sub 3}-5% Sb{sub 2}Se{sub 3} alloys were characterized at temperatures ranging from 80K to 600K. The temperature dependencies of the Hall coefficient, carrier mobility, Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity were measured, and the scattering parameter and bandgap energy were determined.
