Abstract
Two devices which can be used in switching experiments on bulk samples, capable of eliminating the instability in electrical contacts, as well as providing a means of regulating the contact pressure of the electrodes, are described. To clarify the utility of these devices, the results of a study on the dependence between the parameters electrical resistance and contact pressure are shown, as well as some results obtained from experiments based on the phenomenon of electrical switching.Keywords
