Dear Torsten;

The paper includes very useful information, sadly it does not mention what are the mean free path for the electron or the photon in this material :(

do you have some experience with the Bi2Te3 ?

Regards !

Enamul Haque

Dear Hernandez,

If you want to know MFP of electron and phonon, you can calculate it using corresponding conductivity from standard equation. See any text book describing electron-phonon interaction or deformation potential theory.

Best Wishes,
