Presented at American Physical Society, Chicago, Nov. 24-25, l961. Changes in electric conductlvity, sigma , Hall coefficient, R/sub H/, and Seebeck coefficient, S, after high flux reactor irradiation of n- and p-type PbTe are reported. The p-type PbTe sample was irradiated to total accumulated doses of l.0 x l0/sup 19/ n/cm/sup 2./ (fast) and 3.0 x 10/sup 20/ n/cm/sup 2/ (thermal), and the n-type sample was irradiated to doses of 10 x l0 cm neutrons with energy greater than l Mev and thermal neutron doses of l0 cm/sup -2/. lt was concluded that n-type PbTe is capable of retaining all of its basic semiconductor properties after reactor irradiations of l0/sup 20/ n/cm/sup 2/ (fast) and l0/sup 21/ n/cm/sup 2./ (thermal) as long as the temperature of the material during irradiation is above about l70 deg C. The same general conclusion applies to p- type PbTe irradiated to l0/sup 19/ n/cm/sup 2/ (fast) and 3 x 10/sup 20/ n/cm/sup 2/ (thermal) with the added provision that the temperature during irradiation need only be above l50 deg C.
