Electrode-holding devices with an incorporated contact pressure regulating system, designed for the switching effect in amorphous materials

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.
