Observation of Anderson Localization in an Electron Gas
Melvin Cutler,Nevill Mott +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the experimental results find a natural explanation in terms of this model: Conduction is by hopping when the concentration of electrons is low and the Fermi energy lies below ${E}_{c}$; but when higher and the concentration is higher, conduction is by the usual band mechanism with a short mean free path.
