Electron and hole transport in bismuth

Measurements of the low field galvanomagnetic tensor components of bismuth from 77 to 300K are reported. The eight magnetoresistivity coefficients A ij are found to vary as T -2 up to nearly 120 K, then as T -3.9 from 120 to 300 K. The electronic parameters are computed. The values of the electron ellipsoid tilt angle lie between 6 degrees 40' and 8 degrees 30' and the carrier density varies from 4.55*10 17 to 24.5*10 17 cm -3 at 77 K and 300 K respectively. All mobilities except mu 2 vary as T -2 in the lowest temperature range.
