The compositional ordering of Ag, Pb, Sb, Te ions in (AgSbTe2)(x)(PbTe)(2(1-x)) systems possessing a NaCl structure is studied using a Coulomb lattice gas (CLG) model on a face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice and Monte Carlo simulations. Our results show different possible microstructural orderings. Ordered superlattice structures formed out of AgSbTe2 layers separated by Pb2Te2 layers are observed for a large range of x values. For x=0.5, we see an array of tubular structures formed by AgSbTe2 and Pb2Te2 blocks. For x=1, AgSbTe2 has a body-centered tetragonal (bct) structure which is in agreement with previous Monte Carlo simulation results for restricted primitive model (RPM) at closed packed density. The phase diagram of this frustrated CLG system is discussed.
