ON THE SOLID SOLUTIONS OF TIN TELLURIDE AND LEAD TELLURIDE.
Abstract
Work is described which shows that in the system SnTe-PbTe (1) the solid solutions have small exothermic heats of formation based on the binary compounds, (2) solid solution hardening is almost absent, (3) the Sn and Pb atoms are randomly distributed on the sublattice occupied by them and do not undergo an ordering transition during a thermal treatment designed to promote such a transition and (4) the lattice parameter changes linearly with composition. These findings suggest that the solid solutions of tin telluride and lead telluride approach ideal behavior. (Author)
