contents Thermoelectric (Bi1-x Sbx)2Te3 (BST-x) compounds with x=0.2, 0.7 and 0.9 have been studied using synchrotron angle-dispersive powder x-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell up to 25 GPa (at room temperature). The results clearly indicate that all compounds of this study follow a similar structural evolution with the one of pure Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 under pressure. From the comparison between the critical pressures of the corresponding phase transitions, a clear trend of increasing critical pressure for the transition to the disordered solid-solution BCC phase was observed with the increase of Sb concentration. In the case of the BST-0.7, an extended stability 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 a reversible pressure-induced metallization above 12 GPa.
