Thermostructural and Elastic Properties of PbTe and Pb<sub>0.884</sub>Cd<sub>0.116</sub>Te: A Combined Low-Temperature and High-Pressure X-ray Diffraction Study of Cd-Substitution Effects

Rocksalt-type (Pb,Cd)Te belongs to IV–VI semiconductors exhibiting thermoelectric properties. With the aim of understanding of the influence of Cd substitution in PbTe on thermostructural and elastic properties, we studied PbTe and Pb<sub>0.884</sub>Cd<sub>0.116</sub>Te (i) a...
