19. As discussed in Ref., the lowest measurable conductivity is limited either by the experimental apparatus or by the intrinsic conductivity of the insulating phase.
20. Note that since the function W (r) in Eq. has the form of a Fermi distribution with ξ/2 playing the role of temperature, one has -dW/dr→δ(r-r*) for ξ→0.
21. c is replaced by Eq. (16).
