In0.07Te1Pb0.93 is a narrow-bandgap semiconductor alloy in the lead telluride (PbTe) family with indium doping, belonging to the IV-VI group of semiconductopic materials. This composition sits within the well-established PbTe thermoelectric material system and is primarily of research interest for enhancing thermoelectric performance through band structure engineering via indium incorporation. The indium-doped lead telluride family is investigated for improved figure-of-merit in solid-state heat-to-electricity conversion and cooling applications, where controlled doping modifies carrier concentration and phonon scattering to optimize the Seebeck coefficient and reduce thermal conductivity relative to undoped PbTe.
