Annotation The electrical properties of thin films obtained by deposition in vacuum of the pair of PbTe on the substrates of polyamide tape and PbTe:Bi on fresh cleavages of (0001) mica-muscovite under different processing conditions, as well as their subsequent exposure to air, are studied. The high temporal stability of the films on air is revealed.
