Sunghoon Kim As the experimentalists changed the electric field, it is likely that different parts of the material underwent the metal-to-insulator transition at different values of the electric field because of a small number of inherent imperfections. Consequently, the flowing electrons must find a path through these “islands” of insulating regions, embedded in a “sea” of metal.
