Polytypism and Polysomatism in Mixed-Layer Chalcogenides: Characterization of PbBi<sub>4</sub>Te<sub>4</sub>S<sub>3</sub> and Inferences for Ordered Phases in the Aleksite Series

Bi-Pb-chalcogenides of the aleksite series represent homologous mixed-layer compounds derived from tetradymite (Bi<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>2</sub>S). Considering tetradymite as composed of five-atom (Bi<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>2</sub>S) layers, the named minerals...
