An interpretation on the thermodynamic properties of liquid Pb–Te alloys

The bonding character of liquid lead telluride PbTe\text{PbTe} is thermodynamically investigated in detail. Its possibility as an ionic melt composed of cation Pb2+{\text{Pb}}^{2+} and anion Te2−{\text{Te}}^{2-} is not acceptable, by comparing the ionization energy of Pb\text{Pb} atom, electron affi...
