Popis: PbSrSe and PbSrTe films were prepared by hot-wall epitaxy, and their characteristics such as energy band gaps, lattice constants and electrical properties were measured and compared with those of PbSrS. The band gaps of Pb1-xSrxSe and Pb1-xSrxTe films increase as dEg/ dx=2.5 eV and dEg/ dx=3.6 eV, respectively. Deviation of the lattice constant of PbSrSe from that of PbSe was very small with Sr composition less than 10%, and PbSrSe/PbSe system is lattice-matched better than PbSrS/PbS system. On the other hand, the lattice constant of PbSrTe increased rapidly with Sr composition. New quaternary semiconductors such as Pb1-x-yMgxSryTe and Pb1-xSrxTe1-ySeyfilms lattice-matched to PbTe were also prepared. Growth and characteristics of these films are also presented.
