Summary: | The peculiarities of the crystal and electronic structure of V<sub>1-x</sub>Ti<sub>x</sub>FeSb, х = 0 – 0,20, semiconductor solid solution were investigated. The mechanism of generation of structural defects of acceptor and donor nature is described. In particular the nature of donors in n-VFeSb was established (“a priori doping”) as a result of presence ofvacancies in Sb atomic site (4b). The obtained result lays in the basis of the technology for obtaining thermoelectric materials based on n-VFeSb with maximal efficiency of thermal to electrical energy conversion. <br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> semiconductor, electrical conduction, electronic structure. |
