Abstract

THE pressure dependence of the resistivity of indium antimonide has been measured by Keyes1 up to 12,000 atmospheres. We have extended the range to 70,000 atmospheres. In addition to the type of change found by Keyes we have observed a resistance change on melting when the temperature was considerably below the zero pressure melting-point of 796° K.
