There are presents X-ray results and measurements of thermoelectric parameters (thermoelectric electromotive force α, specific electrical conductivity σ, and coefficient of thermal conductivity k) for materials on the base of PbTe-SnTe system. The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT ≈ 0,3 received for thermoelectric samples p-Pb<sub>0.4</sub>Sn<sub>0.6</sub>Te obtained by cold pressing method in complex with annealing.
