Abstract
Pyrite (FeS2) single crystals have been prepared by chemical vapor tra nsport from the elements, using additional phosphorus as a possible do pant source. Hall as well as thermoprobe measurements clearly indicate d p-type conduction. Carrier concentrations of between 1 and 8 X 10(18 ) cm-3 and Hall mobilities of 0.42-0.76 cm2/V s were deduced.
