Abstract
Using precision X-ray diffraction analysis, we have determined the unit-cell parameter of polycrystalline InSb plates and powders doped with Mn, Mn + Zn, and Mn + Cd. We have calculated the lattice parameter a of InSb〈M〉 solid solutions as a function of M content for both the ionic and covalent radii of the corresponding elements. Theoretical results and experimental data have been used to analyze the incorporation of the dopants into the InSb lattice.
