ABSTRACT
The phase diagram of the GeSe2 PbTe system is studied by means of X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis and measurements of the microhardness and the density of the material. The unit-cell parameters of the intermediate phase -GeSe2*(2-x)PbTe, (x = 0/1) were determined: a = 6.200 Adeg , b = 3.807 Adeg , and c = 3.645 Adeg , alpha = 106.47deg, beta = 99.85deg, and gamma = 87.22deg. The intermediate phase -GeSe2*PbTe receives a peritectic reaction at 425 .C. This phase has variable composition GeSe2*(2-x)PbTe (x = 0/1), it melts congruently at 425 C and stands polymorphic transition at T = 325 .C, which dependents of the composition (x). The existence of a narrow regions of solid solutions based on PbTe is supposed.
