The transport properties of vanadium-doped TiSe2under pressure

Abstract
Measurements of the temperature dependence of the resistivity of V0.01Ti0.99Se2 and V0.03Ti0.97Se2 at pressures of up to 15 kbar indicate that the tendency for low-temperature carrier localisation at ambient pressure is reduced at high pressure. The authors consider that this is due to the increase in carrier concentration that results from the increase in p-d band overlap under pressure.
