(color online) (a) n_H of different p-type Bi_xSb_2−xTe₃. Determined (b) η, (c) md∗ , and (d) E_def. The n_H-dependent data points of (e) μ_H, and (f) S compared with the theoretical curves of μ_H versus n_H, and S versus n_H calculated with the correspondingly determined E_def, and md∗ . In all figures, the solid purple data points correspond to BM+HP+HD processed samples,^[100] and the hollowed data points correspond to single crystals.^[132]
