• Planetary ball milling and spark plasma sintering were used to make Bi2Se3 specimens.
• Robust p-type charge transport behavior of the specimens was confirmed up to 470 K.
• The above contrasts the pervasive idea of unstable p-type doping in Bi2Se3.
• The effective mass of holes was found to be at least 2 times that of the electrons.
• Our experiments are the first to support recent theory predictions.
We study polycrystalline pellets of magnesium doped Bi2Se3 compacted from powders processed with planetary milling, a high energy crude metallurgical method. We present evidence that the specimens are p-type and that hole conduction is robust over a wide temperature range. The p-type behavior was probed at room temperature and above with Hall and Seebeck coefficient measurements. The first order non-parabolicity approximation was used to show that holes contribute a higher thermoelectric power compared to that of electrons in agreement with recent theoretical band structure calculations.
