A brief review of existing data on the specific conductivity and optical absorption of mercury and cesium at supercritical temperatures as a function of density is given. Since the paper contains a discussion of the metal‐nonmetal transition, its emphasis is on the intermediate range of conductivity between the metallic and nonmetallic state. The results are interpreted in terms of Mott's theory of metal‐nonmetal transition and of the concept of localization of electrons in noncrystalline materials.
