Popis: Rhombohedral-cubic transformation in Bi2Te3 doped-Pb1−xGexTe alloys is presented. Samples of Bi2Te3 doped Pb1−xGexTe were prepared by powder metallurgy approach. These powder samples were examined by high-temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy. A bulk (pressed powder) cylindrical specimen was used for dilatometery characterizations. According to the XRD examinations it seems that upon increasing the temperatures a continuous transformation occurs from the rhombohedral to the cubic phase, accompanied by the formation of a small amount of the phase Ge0.74Pb3.26Te4.
