Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-4596(88)90136-3

The AgTlTe-HgTe system has been studied by DTA and X-ray diffraction techniques. The diagram is characterized by an intermediate phase Ag//3HgTl//3Te//4 (or Ag//0//. //2//7Hg//0//. //0//9Tl//0//. //2//7Te//0//. //3//6) with 25 mol% HgTe and a high-temperature phase for T greater than 597 K in the range from 30 to 60 mol% HgTe. Electric measurements have been carried out for Ag//3HgTl//3Te//4.
