Polycrystalline PbTe:In Films on Amorphous Substrate: Structure and Physical Properties
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This paper presents a study clearly turned toward applications, but it is supported by a sound scientific argumentation and a good knowledge of the physics of the system. The work has been systematic and thorough.
I have detected a few minor typos:
line 110: "we used an original the set-up..."
line122: the title from table 1 shoud jump to the next page
line 187: "respectively" is colored in red
line 293: [X], probably a reference was expected there ?

Reviewer 3 Report
The abstract must be rewritten to highlight the findings of the paper. Uncommonly figure 1 is included in the introduction, please remove it and just mention the reference.
Fig.2 needs redesign to include the captions parts into the figure instead of numbers. ex 3 – substrate, 4 – PbTe film...etc.
The Hall measurements and mobility values required more discussion and referring to literatures.
