Influence of local distortions of crystal lattice on magnetic susceptibility of (InSb)1-x(CdTe)x solid solutions

Dependencies of the lattice constant and the magnetic susceptibility on the composition of (InSb) 1-x (CdTe) x solid solution have been studied. Anomalous behavior of the magnetic susceptibility at weak magnetic fields was observed. The correlation between changes of the lattice constant and magnetic properties has been analyzed. The possibility of the semiconductor-metal transition has been discussed.
