Abstract
An approach is proposed to reduce the stability of the cubic phase of lead selenide by thermal oxidation with atmospheric oxygen and its transformation into an ordered monoclinic phase of lead selenite. An estimated thermodynamic analysis (TA) of the course of possible chemical reactions of lead selenide oxidation with oxygen is carried out. The kinetics of lead selenide oxidation with atmospheric oxygen are studied by X-ray emission analysis, X-ray diffractometry, optical reflection in the infrared region of the spectrum, studies of conductivity in direct and alternating currents, and nuclear magnetic resonance. For the PbSeO3 structure, the Goldschmidt stability factor was estimated and it was shown that the structure can be classified as perovskite-like and have ferroelectric properties.
