We present some results of an experimental study on transport properties of
poly-crystalline NiBi3. Resistivity, thermoelectric power and the Nernst c
oefficient were measured in a magnetic field up to 1.2T between 100 and 300
K. A large magnetoresistance was observed and it was revealed that the beh
avior of thermoelectric power changed markedly upon the application of a ma
gnetic field. The carrier mobility was determined to be 0.446 m(2)V(-1)s(-1
) at room temperature and the Fermi energy was estimated to be 0.643 eV. We
obtained an expression rho = rho (0) + d(H) exp(-(T-0(H)/T)(1.36H2+1)) as
the temperature and magnetic field dependence of resistivity.
