The resistivity maximum at a temperature $T=T_{\mathrm{max}}$ is a recurring feature of bandwidth-tuned Mott systems, yet its meaning remains controversial: is it a coherence-incoherence crossover of an electronically homogeneous metal, or…
According to the Anderson theorem, the critical temperature T_c of a disordered superconductor is determined by the average density of states and does not change at the localization threshold. This statement is valid under assumption of a…
