Аннотация:We have studied a portion of the ternary system Pb-V-Te. Pseudobinary joins have been identified, the vanadium solubility along the V3Te4-PbTe join has been determined, and the lattice parameter of the solid solution has been measured as a function of vanadium content at 800 and 870°C. Six PbTe〈V〉 crystals have been grown by the Bridgman method, and their microstructure and transport properties have been investigated. The results indicate that vanadium in PbTe is not a simple donor: its effect depends on those growth conditions that determine the degree of compensation of the donor effect of vanadium and native defects. PbTe〈V〉 samples have been found to pass into a high-resistivity state on cooling and to be photosensitive. The depth of the vanadium donor level in the band gap of lead telluride has been evaluated.
