Influence of partial substitution of Cu atoms by Zn and Cd atoms on polymorphic transformation in the Cu1.75Te crystal

The [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] compounds have been synthesized and low-temperature modification single crystals obtained from the high temperature modification by polymorphic transformation. The method of high temperature X-ray diffractometer has been used to study [Formula: see text] (x = 0.05 Zn and Cd) layered single crystal. It was established that such a substitution has a significant impact on the number and temperature of polymorphic transformations. Crystallgraphic parameters were determined for each phase. Temperature dependence of lattice parameters were obtained and determined change mechanism of lattice parameters by influence of temperature.
