Abstract
We show that the low-temperature resistivity of amorphous and disordered metals is described by a square-root variation with temperature, as suggested by various scaling theories of the metal-insulator transition. The coefficient (the correlation gap) has the identical dependence on resistivity, , reported for materials with resistivity up to three orders of magnitude greater.
