The diffusion of nickel and of chlorine into single crystals of p-type lead telluride has been measured at 700~ When nickel and chlorine diffuse simultaneously, there is an interaction between them such that the concentration profile of the nickel exhibits a sharp minimum.
Using radio-tracer 2l0Pb, the diffusion of lead has been studied in PbTe at 700°C as a function of composition and doping level. The results indicate that the predominant cation defect is of the Frenkel type.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
