The structural and electronic transport properties of polycrystalline p-type CoSb3 with different grain sizes (about 3 and 3×102 μm) were investigated. The magnetic susceptibility was also measured. Samples were characterized by x-ray diffractometry, electron-probe microanalysis, and optical microscope observation. Samples were found to be stoichiometric and homogeneous. The Hall carrier concentration of the samples is of the order of 1018 cm−3 and weakly dependent on the temperature. The temperature dependence of the Hall mobility suggests that the predominant scattering mechanism drastically changes depending on grain size: for large grain size a combination of the neutral impurity scattering and the acoustic phonon scattering, and for small grain size the ionized impurity scattering. The magnetic susceptibility was found to be essentially diamagnetic independently of grain size, and to vary slightly with temperature. The weak temperature dependence of the susceptibility can be explained by taking into ...
