Abstract

The pressure and temperature dependences of the electrical resistance of A34.4AlTe61.6 and As16.mA116.67Te66 66 glasses have been investigated using an opposed anvil setup. The resistance of the glasses exhibit N lo6 fold decrease with increasing pressure up to 7 GPa at 300 K. This hehaviour can be traced to the corresponding changes with pressure of the activation energy for electrical conduction, AE(p).The As34.4A14Te61.6 glass exhibits pressure induced anomalies at 2 GPa in the pressure variation of AE(p) and the pressure coefficient of electrical resistance. Such an anomaly is not seen for the As16.67A116.67Te66.66 glass. The anomalies point to a pressure induced morphological structural transformation in the AS. AIT.glass.
