The results are considered of a comparative investigation of the properties of CdSnAs 2 and CdGeAs 2 compounds with the usual chalkopyrite‐type structure and with their high temperature modifications. Results are given for the changes which occur in the microhardness, electrical properties, and thermal conductivity as a result of the phase changes. It is found that the electron mobility in CdSnAs 2 with the sphalerite‐type structure is less than half that of crystals with the usual structure. The thermal conductivity of vitreous CdGeAs 2 (5.5 × 10 −3 W/cm.deg) is about an order less than for a single crystal (68.6x × 10 −3 W/cm.deg).
