Abstract
We observe a crossover in the temperature dependence of the variable-range-hopping resistivity in a three-dimensional nickel-silicon film from the Mott T-1/4-behaviour to the soft-gap T-v-behaviour with v ≈ 0.72. We propose general expressions for describing such crossovers from T-1/4-behaviour to T-v-behaviour for any v from 1/4 to 1. The theoretical expressions fit the experimental data well.
