Structural and Mössbauer study of (Sb₀.₇₀Te₀.₃₀)₁₀₀-ₓ Snₓ alloys with x = 0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5

(Sb₀.₇₀Te₀.₃₀)₁₀₀-ₓSnₓ alloys (with x = 0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 at. %) have been synthesized and characterized in order to determine the crystalline structure and properties of materials obtained upon solidification and to extract information about the location of the Sn atom in the Sb-Te matrix.
