The variation of resistivity in an amorphous As 30 Te 70−x Si x system of glasses with high pressure has been studied for pressures up to 8 GPa. It is found that the electrical resistivity and the conduction activation energy decrease continuously with increase in pressure, and samples become metallic in the pressure range 1.0-2.0 GPa. Temperature variation studies carried out at a pressure of 0.92 GPa show that the activation energies lie in the range 0.16-0.18 eV. Studies on the composition/average co-ordination number r dependence of normalized electrical resistivity at different pressures indicate that rigidity percolation is extended, the onset of the intermediate phase is around r = 2.44, and completion at r = 2.56, respectively, while the chemical threshold is at r = 2.67. These results compare favorably with those obtained from electrical switching and differential scanning calorimetric studies.
