Abstract
We report a study of the resistivity as a function of temperature (4 K <T <300 K) of single crystals of the quasi-two dimensional diphosphate tungsten bronzes (DPTBh) K $_{\rm x}$(P 2O 4)2(WO 3)2m m=8 for 1.30 <x <1.55. A change from metallic to non-metallic behavior is observed for x <1.30. The results are discussed in terms of disorder and in relation with available band models.
