Effect of Iodine Content on the Lattice Parameter of PbTe1 – x I x Solid Solutions

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The lattice parameter of PbTe1 – x I x solid solutions is shown to be a nonmonotonic function, with a sharp minimum, of iodine content. This finding is interpreted in terms of a defect formation model. The model is also used to evaluate the radii of Pb and Te vacancies in PbTe.
