K. Kimoto et al., SOLID SOLUBILITY DETERMINATION AND SINGLE-CRYSTAL PREPARATION OF NEW QUATERNARY SOLID-SOLUTION SYSTEM OF (PB1-XGEX)(S1-ZSEZ), JPN J A P 1, 32, 1993, pp. 187-189
For the quaternary (Pb1-xGex)(S1-zSez) solid solution system, the solu
bility limits of Ge in the system were investigated using powder X-ray
diffraction and the solubility region were clarified. From the result
s, the relationship between the lattice constant and the energy gap wa
s derived in the solid solution region, which will serve to fabricate
double hetero laser diodes lattice-matched to PbS. The (Pb1-xGex)S sin
gle crystals were prepared by chemical transport and characterized by
Hall effect measurements.
