The phase composition and thermoelectric properties of solid solutions Pb16Sn2Ag2Te20 and Pb14Sn4Ag2Te20 are researched. Biphasic structure of the samples is installed, which providing to low values of thermal conductivity. Best samples have values of dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT ≈ 0,55.

There are presents X-ray results and measurements of thermoelectric parameters (thermoelectric electromotive force α, specific electrical conductivity σ, and coefficient of thermal conductivity k) for materials on the base of PbTe-SnTe system. The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT ≈ 0,3 received for thermoelectric samples p-Pb0.4Sn0.6Te obtained by cold pressing method in complex with annealing.
