High-pressure investigations of conducting materials

Abstract
The diamond-plungers apparatus for simultaneous measurements of resistance (rho) , thermoelectric power S, volume V of samples is described. The apparatus contains the microcontroller for the operation by the measurements and keeping the experimental data. The examples, comprised S, (rho) , V recording for semiconductors Ge, Si and HgTeS in pressure range 0 - 30 GPa are represented.
