Abstract
The conductivity of compensated GaAs with Nd≈Na≈ ≈2.5.101 7 cm-3 was investigated down to T = 0,5°K. To explain the results of the measurements it was suggested that the electrons at low temperature are localized in a narrow continuum of states near the bottom of the conduction band. At the appropriate concentration of the electrons a Mott transition occurs.

The Study of Disordered Semiconductors by Compensation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the benefits of compensated semiconductors in such studies, review selected past applications of the techniques, and point to some likely areas in which further use of compensation appears promising.

Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for spin diffusion or conduction in the "impurity band" is presented, which involves transport in a lattice which is in some sense random, and in them diffusion is expected to take place via quantum jumps between localized sites.

The Basis of the Electron Theory of Metals, with Special Reference to the Transition Metals

TL;DR: In this paper, the collective electron and London-Heitler models are not to be regarded as different approximations to the same exact wave function for solids in which, according to the former model, there is a partially filled zone of energy levels.

The transition to the metallic state

Nevill Mott
TL;DR: In this paper, an account of the theory that a crystalline or non-crystalline array of atoms will make a transition from the metallic to the non-metallic state as the interatomic distance is varied is given.

Semiconductor-to-Metal Transition in n -Type Group IV Semiconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of the most significant experimental features of the semiconductor-to-metal transition in group IV semiconductors is given, and two characteristic concentrations are discussed, the first being for a delocalization of electrons (the "Mott" transition), and the second being associated with the entry of the Fermi level into the conduction band of the host material.
