Abstract

The physics of the metal-insulator coexistence region near the non-zero temperature Mott transition is investigated in presence of weak disorder. We demonstrate that disorder reduces the temperature extent and the general size of the coexistence region, consistent with recent experiments on several Mott systems. We also discuss the qualitative scenario for the disorder-modified Mott transition, and present simple scaling arguments that reveal the similarities to, and the differences from, the clean limit.
