Experimental weak‐field galvanomagnetic data are used to determine some conduction band parameters (the ratios of the effective mass tensor components m i / m j , the tilt angle of the principal axes of the constant energy ellipsoids, and the degeneracy parameter) using the many‐valley model of the band structure for n‐Bi 2 Te 3 and its solid solutions. The charge carrier scattering mechanism is discussed. It is shown that the scattering parameter is not equal to −0.5, e.g. the value specifies for the acoustic scattering mechanism. The effective scattering parameter r eff is calculated and its temperature and concentration dependences are found.
