Studies of the specific heat Cp room temperature concentration dependences for the Bi1-xSbx (x = 0–0.12) solid solutions have shown that in the Cp(x) curves, three peaks of Cp are observed near x = 0.015, x = 0.037, and x = 0.07. These peaks are attributed to critical phenomena...

Bi1−xSbx solid solutions have attracted much attention as promising low-temperature thermoelectric materials. Previously, we observed distinct extrema in the isotherms of the transport and mechanical properties of polycrystalline Bi1−xSbx and attributed their presence to the transition from...

Bi1−xSbx solid solutions have attracted much attention as promising thermoelectric (TE) materials for cooling devices at temperatures below ∼200 K and as unique model materials for solid-state science because of a high sensitivity of their band structure to changes in composition,...

Using the computer simulation method it was studied the dependences of nonequilibrium electrons lifetime from concentration of elementary bulk point defects and various complexes of the bulk point defects, which may be present in the n+-p-p+ diode structures based on p-type conductivity boron...

An X-ray study of Bi1-xSbx alloys in the concentration range x = 0 – 0.1 was carried out. It was established that up to an Sb concentration x ~ 0.02, the unit cell parameters (a, c) decrease linearly with increasing concentration, and the diffraction linewidth increases. In the concentration...
