Abstract

Thermodynamic and structural data for A-Te (A = Ge, Sn, Pb) melts are used to evaluate the charge displacement (in Tamaki’s approach) and the radii of Wigner-Seitz spheres. The results indicate that the interaction between dissimilar components and the formation of the ATe compounds prevail in the melts. In the Ge-Te system, there is a tendency toward the formation of Ge0.85Te0.15 and Ge0.33Te0.66 associates, in which, respectively, covalent and ionic bonding prevails.
