Abstract: The recent successful growth of single, bulk Pb1-xCdxTe crystals by self-selecting vapor transport method at the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw opened new opportunities to study the physical properties of this interesting material in detail.In this work we report the preliminary results of X-ray powder diffraction studies performed on a set of Pb1-xCdxTe solid solutions (where x ≤ 0.056) at high temperatures (295 K ≤ T ≤ 1100 K) and analyzed with the Rietveld refinement.Our results demonstrate the necessity of some correction of the relevant phase diagram and of the solubility limit, known from the literature.
