Lanthanum has been substituted for barium in the perovskite type Ba1-x
LaxSnO3 solid solutions. The substitution rate is restricted to a smal
l range of x-values (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0
.02). The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity and of
the thermoelectric power reveals a scattering of carriers by disorder
in metallic type samples (x greater than or equal to 0.01) and a hoppi
ng mechanism in non-metallic ones where the localization seems to be o
f Anderson type.
