Abstract

Pressure dependence of the electrical resistivity of bulk, melt quenched GexTe100-x glasses (15 ≤ x ≤ 28) has been studied up to 8GPa pressure. All the glasses exhibit a sharp, discontinuous glass to crystal transition under pressure. The high pressure crystalline phases are identified to have a face centered cubic structure. The value of the cell constant is 0.779nm for 15 ≤ x ≤ 17, 0.642nm for x=20 and 0.55lnm for 22 ≤ x ≤ 28 samples respectively. The cell constants of the high pressure crystalline phases suggest the possible existance of a new metastable crystalline compound in the Ge-Te system with F.C.C. structure and cell constant equal to 1.109nm as reported by Moore et al.
