19. We note that a sublinear Bp (T) trend is however not expected in our simple model, suggesting some more complex effects are taking place at higher temperature.
20. It is important to stress here that a precise location of the MIT cannot be inferred from our T=1.17K data. The critical density nc we quote here is only an approximation of the zero-temperature value not taking into account the temperature dependence of the conductivity exponent, p.
