Abstract: Thermoelectric (Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_x$)$_2$Te$_3$ (BST-x) compounds, with x=0.2, 0.7 and 0.9, have beenstudied using synchrotron angle-dispersive powder x-ray diffraction in a diamondanvil cell up to 25 GPa (at room temperature). The results clearly indicate thatall compounds of this study follow a similar structural evolution like the one ofpure Bi$_2$Te$_3$ and Sb$_2$Te$_3$ under pressure. From the comparison between the criticalpressures of the corresponding phase transitions, a clear trend of increasing criticalpressure for the transition to the disordered solid-solution BCC phase was observedwith the increase of Sb concentration. In the case of the BST-0.7, an extendedstability of the solid-solution BCC phase up to, at least, 180 GPa was observed. Finally,electrical transport properties measurements under pressure for BST-0.7, document areversible pressure-induced metallization above 12 GPa.
