DC conductivity measurements have been made in the bulk amorphous Ge1-xSe2Cdx samples as a function of composition (x=0, 0.011, 0.014, 0.02), temperature (295 K to 473 K) and electric field strength. DC conductivity is found to increase with increase in the cadmium content and with increase in electric field strength. In the limited range of temperature the DC conductivity can be considered as an activated process. The DC conductivity activation energy depends upon the temperature and the applied electric field.
