Phase equilibria are investigated in the GeTe-PbSe system and also the effect of cation-anion substitution in the structural state, phase-transformation temperatures, and electrophysical properties of the solution alloys based on alpha-GeTe are studied. After annealing at 570 K, the alloys were investigated by thermal, microstructural, x-ray-phase, and dilatometric analyses. Electrical conductivity and Hall coefficient were measured at 300 K by an R 56/2 ac potentiometer with precision of 3 and 10% respectively. The precision in the thermo-emf-coefficient measurements was 3% and in thermal-conductivity measurements was 10%. It was established that the Ge /SUB 0.9/ Te-PbSe section is quasibinary only at temperatures near th solidus, where a continuous series of solid solutions exist.
