Computer simulations, using the Stillinger-Weber potential, have previously been employed to demonstrate a liquid-liquid transition in supercooled silicon near 1060 K. From calculations of electronic structure using an empirical psuedopotential, we show that silicon undergoes an associated metal to semimetal transition with a resistivity jump of roughly 1 order of magnitude. We show that the electronic states near the Fermi energy become localized in the low temperature phase, and that changes in electronic structure between the two phases arise from a change in atomic structure, and not from a change in density.
