Abstract

In the paper, a theoretical calculation of the coefficient of thermal conductivity of solid solutions of PbSnTe was carried out. The contribution of phonon scattering on substitution atoms to the effect of reducing thermal conductivity has been established. The composition of the PbSnTe solid solution, characterized by the lowest values of the lattice component of the thermal conductivity coefficient klat, was determined. The concentration of intrinsic charge carriers in solid solutions is calculated and their influence on the thermoelectric parameters of the material is shown.
