An investigation was made of a batch of samples of neutron transmutation-doped (NTD) Ge:Ga with the degree of compensation K = 0.3 and the concentration of the main impurity (Ga) from N = 3.6 {times} 10{sup 14} cm{sup {minus}3} to N{sub c} = 2.5 {times} 10{sup 17} cm{sup {minus}3}, corresponding to the MI transition. The following were studied: the parameters of NTD Ge:Ga, the temperature dependence of hopping transport, the {var_epsilon}{sub 3} region of the nearest neighbor hopping (NNH), the saturation of NNH, variable range hopping (VRH) and the Coulomb gap.
