Abstract
Experimental data for a large number of amorphous metallic alloys are consistent with the thermopower analog of the Mooij correlation being an increase of thermopower magnitude ‖S‖ as the square of resistivity, with S of either sign and showing small deviations from linearity in temperature. We show such behavior can arise from the reduction of conductivity by incipient localization.
