Abstract
Thin films of $Sb_{2-x}Bi_xTe_3$ (x = 0.0, 0.5, and 1.0) are grown by vacuum evaporation. XRD analysis shows the amorphous nature of the films, and the composition studies confirm the stoichiometry of the films. Microstructural parameters of the films have been calculated and used to explain the electrical and optical properties of the films. It is observed that the carrier type has changed from p- to n-type at higher concentration (x = 1.0) of Bi. The resistivity of the films decreases rapidly with the increase of Bi concentration. However, the refractive index and optical band gap of the films increase with the Bi concentration.
