Abstract
The pyrochlore compounds Bi2Pt2O7 (insulator) and Pb2Ru2O6.5 (metallic conductor) form a continuous series of solid solutions Bi2-xPbxPt2-xRuxO7-z. Increasing substitution of the platinum by ruthenium results in a gradual insulator-metal transition. Metallic conductivity is found for a substitution level of x ≳ 1.5. The presence of variable range hopping conductivity in the insulating regime strongly suggests that the metal-insulator transition is of Anderson type.
