  • Abstract
    In the temperature range 77-300 K, the electrophysical properties of PbTe:Yb monocrystals obtained by the Bridgmen method were studied. It was shown that the presence of Yb leads to an improvement of the structural characteristics and the reduction of the charge carrier concentration down to ~1014 cm-3
