Abstract
We report the results of an experimental study of the electronic transport properties (Hall effect and electrical conductivity) of expanded liquid mercury in the density range 13.6–8.5 g cm−3 (temperature region 30–1500 °C and pressure region 1–1900 atm). From the correlation of the Hall effect and the conductivity data three distinct conduction regimes were identified in this one-component system: a) the weak scattering metallic region (13.6–11 g cm−3); b) the strong scattering metallic region (11.0–9.2 g cm−3); c) the localization regime (<9.2 g cm−3). Detailed quantitative information has been obtained for the formation of the pseudogap and the metal-nonmetal transition in this disordered system.
