Annotation The Josephson junction superconducting quantum interferometer (SQUID magnetometer) was used to study the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility χ of crystals of solid solutions (Bi2−Sbx)T e3(0 < x < 1) at temperatures ranging from 2 to 50 K, with the orientation of the magnetic field vector H for C3 with respect to the trigonal crystal axis C3H||C3, and ⊥C3. The article shows that the magnetic susceptibility of the ionic core of the studied samples G = −0, 3510−6cm3/g, the contribution of lattice defects in the magnetic susceptibility can be neglected, and the contribution of free charge carriers in the entire temperature range has a diamagnetic character. The article shows that using the approach of Pauli and Landau-Peierls it is possible to describe the contribution of free carriers to the resultant magnetic susceptibility and its anisotropy. In the calculation of magnetic susceptibility, taking into account the constancy of the concentration of free carriers in the state of strong degeneracy, we observed changes in temperature dependence of the anisotropic effective masses on the chemical composition of the crystal. Perhaps this is due to the complex structure of the valence band and its variation with increasing number of Sb2T e3 in the solid solution.
Key words crystal magnetic susceptibility, solid solution, concentration, effective mass, anisotropy.
