Here, we report the crystal growth, physical and transport properties ofBi1-xSbx (x = 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15) topological insulator. Single crystals ofBi1-xSbx (x = 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15) were grown by melting bismuth and antimonytogether using the facile self flux method. The XRD measurements displayedhighly indexed 00l lines and confirmed the crystalline nature as well as therhombohedral structure of the Bi1-xSbx (x = 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15) crystals. Ramanspectroscopy measurements for Bi1-xSbx system revealed four peaks within thespectral range of 10 to 250 cm-1 namely A1g and Eg modes corresponding to Bi-Biand Sb-Sb vibrations. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersiveTemperature dependent electrical resistivity curves with and without appliedmagnetic field exhibited a metallic behaviour and linear non-saturatingmagneto-resistance (MR) respectively for all the antimony (Sb) concentrationsof x = 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15. The lowest Sb concentration sample with x = 0.05(Bi0.95Sb0.05) exhibited the highest MR value of about 1400%, followed by x =0.1 and 0.15 samples (Bi0.9Sb0.1 and Bi0.85Sb0.05) with MR values reaching upto 500% and 110% respectively at 2K and 6Tesla applied field. Themagneto-conductivity (MC) is fitted to the HLN (Hikami Larkin Nagaoka) equationand it is found that the charge conduction mechanism is mainly dominated by WAL(weak anti-localization) along with a small contribution from WL (weaklocalization) effect. Summarily, the short letter discusses the synthesis,interesting transport and magneto-transport properties of Bi1-xSbx (x = 0.05,0.1 and 0.15), which could be useful in understanding the fascinatingproperties of topological insulators and their technological applications.
