Abstract
The NaCl structures PbS, PbSe, PbTe and SnTe have been found to transform to a Pnma orthorhombic (distorted NaCl) structure under high pressures. Epitaxial growth on rock salt of thin films of normally orthorhombic (Pnma) SnS, SnSe and PbSnS2 induces NaCl structures. There exists a close correlation between the lattice constants of the corresponding NaCl and the orthorhombic polymorphic structures of the Pb and Sn compounds.Keywords
