Abstract
The electrical conductivity and the thermoelectric power have been measured for liquid Mn x Te1−x with 0⩽x⩽0·5. The unique electronic structure of MnTe means that the experimental data can be used directly to test the form of the energy-dependent conductivity close to the valence-band mobility edge. It is concluded that all the data obtained are consistent with a linear decrease of conductivity with energy as the mobility edge is approached.Keywords
