Precise determination of two-carrier transport properties in the topological insulator TlBiSe₂

We report the electric transport study of the three-dimensional topological insulator TlBiSe$_2$. We applied a newly developed analysis procedure and precisely determined two-carrier transport properties. Magnetotransport properties revealed a multicarrier conduction of high- and low-mobility electrons in the bulk, which was in qualitative agreement with angle-resolved photoemission results~[K. Kuroda $et~al.$, Phys. Rev. Lett. $\bm{105}$, 146801 (2010)]. The temperature dependence of the Hall mobility was explained well with the conventional Bloch-Gr{\"u}neisen formula and yielded the Debye temperature $\varTheta_{\rm{D}}=113 \pm 14$~K. The results indicate that the scattering of bulk electrons is dominated by acoustic phonons.
