Babyuk T.I.1, Mikhalchenko V.P.2, Shafranyuk V.P The Anharmonic Coefficients and Elastic Moduli of PbTe and Pb1-XGexTe Thermoelectric Materials Determined Using X-Ray Diffractometric Data
Based on the experimental data of temperature dependencies of integrated intensities of X-ray diffractions of polycrystalline PbTe and Pb1-XGexTe in the range of 83-93 K, the quasi-elastic force and anharmonic coefficients of the 3-d and 4-th orders for these materials were determined.  A quantitative analysis of the nature of interactions between atoms was carried out, elastic module tensor components Cijkl and elastic anisotropy were determined.  Possible applications of the results for constructing thermoelectric devices were demonstrated.
