Abstract

A gradual conductivity transition as the atomic composition (X) of Hg/Xe samples is varied at 6 K has been observed. The temperature coefficient of the conductivity (TCC) follows the power law TCC α (X₀ - X)^{2.4 ± 0.4} with X₀ = 0.790 ± 0.005, the conductivity at X₀ being 400 ± 50 (Ω-cm)^-1. The gradual conductivity transition is interpreted in terms of a Mott-Anderson metal-nonmetal transition smeared out by thermally activated hopping.
