Silver solubility in PbTe crystals

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Silver solubility in lead telluride single crystals has been determined using electron microscopy, x-ray microanalysis, microhardness tests, and hydrostatic density measurements. The results indicate that the limit of the Pb1 − x Ag x Te solid-solution series is near x = 0.006. With increasing silver content, the density of the Pb1 − x Ag x Te solid solutions drops, while their microhardness rises.
