Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have studied the effect of excess tellurium atoms (up to 0.5 at %) on the thermal conductivity of single-crystal Pb1 − x Mn x Te (x = 0.04) samples annealed at 570K for 120 h. We have evaluated the lattice and electron thermal conductivities of the samples, their additional thermal resistance due to structural defects, and the coefficient in the expression for the effective phonon scattering cross section. We assume that some of the excess Te atoms fill lead vacancies, thereby reducing the effective phonon scattering cross section.
