Fig. 4: Speculative phase diagram of the LAMT in tellurium.

From: Pressure-induced Anderson-Mott transition in elemental tellurium

Fig. 4

The violet area represents the area, where the chemical potential is not situated in the band. AI: Anderson insulator (Ls.o. > ξL). SOD: spin–orbit delocalization. DM: disordered metal. The green area represents the critical regime. The black circles mark the positions of the anomalies, which coincide with the temperature to which VRH and/or σ = σ0 + ATb is a good fit. Thus, the red dashed line marks roughly the temperature at which we expect that the fermi level enters the localized states of the valence band.
