Abstract

Pressure-temperature-composition (P-T-x) phase diagrams have been calculated for PbTe and PbSe in the temperature range 250° C to the melting point. Various thermodynamic quantities have been estimated which are consistent with electrical parameters measured at room temperature. However, refinements in the band structure and its temperature dependence are needed before an accurate calculation of intrinsic carrier concentration at high temperatures becomes possible.
