46. 1/(n+1)] the exponent 1/(n+1) can be determined by the slope of the log[d log(ρ)/d log(1/T)] vs log(T) plot (see Refs. 15 and 38). In our fitting processes of Mott VRH and E-S VRH, we made sure that the exponent values should be same with the slopes in those plots. And with additional 1/√T and 1/T terms (see Refs. 33 and 37), we could get better fitting curves.

56. In this complex system with both disorder and correlation effects, the conductivity maximum energy is not simply determined. Particulary in the small x region, the electron correlation should also involve in this conductivity maximum behavior (see Ref. 12).
