Abstract
Temperature dependence of Vickers microhardness of lnx Bi2-x Te3 single crystals with x ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 has been studied. Loading time dependence of microhardness at different temperatures has been used for creep study in the temperature range 300 K to 400 K. The activation energy for indentation creep of the crystals has been evaluated.
