OSTI ID:5847766

The authors have investigated the temperature dependences of the electrical conductivity and coefficient of thermoemf of La/sub 2/PbSe/sub 4/, La/sub 2/Pb/sub 4/Se/sub 7/, and (La/sub 2/Se/sub 3/)/sub x/(PbSe)/sub 1-x/ (x = 0.02, 0.03) over a wide range of temperatures. It is established that the ternary compounds La/sub 2/PbSe/sub 4/ and La/sub 2/Pb/sub 4/Se/sub 7/ are p-type semiconductors with forbidden-band widths of 1.26 and 0.88 eV respectively. The solid solutions (La/sub 2/Se/sub 3/)/sub x/(PbSe)/sub 1-x/ are also semiconductors with donor and acceptor levels, the positions of which in the forbidden band do not depend on the composition.
