Models describing point defects in chromium doped lead telluride crystals and in the solid solutions PbTe–CrTe and PbTe–Cr3Te4 have been developed. Based on the proposed quasi-chemical formulae, the dependence of the concentration of defects and free carriers, and the Hall concentration of current carriers, on the content of dopant and the deviation from PbTe stoichiometry, have been calculated. The mechanisms of doping and solid solution formation have been analyzed.
