The AI doping level varies between 0 and 30 at.% in the step of 5 at.%. The resistivity （p） is the minimum （0.38 Ω cm） for 20 at.% of AI doping. The possible mechanism behind the phenomenal zig-zag variation in resistivity with respect to AI doping is discussed in detail. The nature of conductivity changes from n-type to p-type when the AI doping level is 10 at.%.
