  1. For LSCO, p = x, whereas for Hg1201 and YBCO–Zn, the estimate is based on the findings in refs. 32,36, respectively. As described in the text, Tc corresponds to the peak in the nonlinear conductivity; we estimate the error to be less than 1%. Ξ0 is obtained from nonlinear conductivity using a 3D site-percolation model. The uncertainties are from fits to the percolation calculation
