Resistivity ρ(T) of Co-doped n-type FeSi2 single crystals is investigated in the temperature range of 4.2K⩽T⩽300K, and analyzed within the framework of different hopping conductivity models according to the relation ρ(T)=ApT1∕pexp[(T0∕T)1∕p]. Both the Mott regime with p=4 [Metal-Insulator Transitions (Taylor & Francis, London, 1990)] and the Shklovskii-Efros regime with p=2 [Electronic Properties of Doped Semiconductors (Springer, Berlin, 1984)] within the variable-range hopping conductivity are observed, as well as a crossover of them, where the temperature dependence of the resistivity follows a scaling law ln(ρ∕ρ0)=Af(T∕Tx). The values of the characteristic (T0) and transition temperatures and the width of the soft Coulomb gap in the spectrum of the density of the localized states (DOS) Δ≈0.5–1.6meV are determined. In addition to Δ, our results suggest existence of the rigid gap in the spectrum of the DOS with the value up to δ≈0.35meV. The rigid gap is consistent with a polaronic nature of the charge ...
