We present the metal–insulator transition study of a quantum site percolation model on simple cubic lattice. Transfer matrix method is used to calculate transport properties — Landauer conductance — for the binary distribution of energies. We calculate the mobility edge in disorder (ratio of insulating sites) — energy plane in detail and we find the extremal critical disorder somewhat closer to the classical percolation threshold than formerly reported. We calculate the critical exponent ν along the mobility edge and find it constant and equal to the one of 3D Anderson model, confirming common universality class. Possible exception is the center of the conduction band, where either the single-parameter scaling is not valid anymore, or finite size effects are immense. One of the reasons for such statement is the difference between results from arithmetic and geometric averaging of conductance at special energies. Only the geometric mean yields zero critical disorder in band center, which was theoretically predicted.

AbstractOrthorhombic perovskite-type (La0.1Ca0.9)(Mn1-xCox)O3 was synthesized in the range 0.00 ≤ x ≤ 0.08. The Rietveld analysis indicates that the (Mn, Co)-O(1 and 2) distances are independent of the composition (x). Measurements of the electrical resistivity (ρ) and the Seebeck coefficient (α) indicate that (La0.1Ca0.9)(Mn1-xCox)O3 is an n-type semiconductor at the low temperature. At the high temperature, (La0.1Ca0.9)(Mn1-xCox)O3 exhibits a metal-insulator transition in the range 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.04. The metal-insulator transition temperature (Tt) increases with increasing the Co3+ ion content, while dρ/dT in the metallic region decreases with increasing the Co3+ ion content. The variation of Ea and T+ is explained by the difference in the electronegativity between Mn and Co atoms. The variation of dρ/dT in the metallic region is explained by the increase in the collective o bond.

New bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF)-, bis(ethylenediseleno)tetrathiafulvalene (BEST)- and bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene (BETS)-based organic charge-transfer (CT) salts—α-(BEDT-TTF)3(HOC2H4SO3)2 (1), β-(BEST)3(HOC2H4SO3)2·H2O (2) and α-(BETS)2(HOC2H4SO3)·H2O (3)—have been prepared. Salts 1 and 2 show semiconducting behaviour. Salt 3, which is almost isostructural to α-(BETS)2I3, shows metallic behaviour down to 70 K and then shows a broader metal–insulator transition than that of α-(BETS)2I3. The reason for the difference in behaviour is estimated by the comparison of the Madelung energies of the full set of patterns of possible donor’s charge-ordered and anion’s disordered states.
