摘要: We investigated some structural and transport properties of semiconducting ReSi2−δ . In the literature this silicides is reported to crystallize in an orthorhombic structure be stoichiometric ReSi2. Our investigations clearly show that stable composition ReSi1.75 crystallizing space group P1. Transport measurements thermally activated behavior at high temperatures with one (or two) energy gap Eg=0.16 (0.30 eV). also report Hall‐effect on material: we found RH positive between 30 660 K room temperature Hall number nH=1/eRH equal 3.7×1018 cm−3. The mobility relatively (μH=370 cm2/V s) for a single crystal.
