Abstract
The phase diagram of the InSb-SnTe system is studied using thermal analyses . X-ray diffraction and microstructure analyses, combined with density meas urements. The diagram is an eutectic type with border solid solutions. Form ation of metastable phase with composition InSb . SnTe was observed as a re sult of peritectoidal reaction at 420 degreesC. The unit cell parameters of the new phase are determined as: a = 7.1 Angstrom: b = 5.1 Angstrom: c = 5 .1 Angstrom: alpha = 91.7 degrees; beta = 129.9 degrees and gamma = 88.9 de grees.
