Abstract
The effect of doping bismuth telluride with tin, on its electrophysical properties, has been studied. It is shown that the main features in the transport coefficients of Bi2Te3:Sn can be explained by the existence of resonant Sn states within the valence band. The existence of resonant Sn states was confirmed by codoping Bi2Te3:Sn with the electroactive impurity I.
