We report results on ac and de conductivities, magnetoresistance, hopping t
hermopower and X-ray diffraction measurements in a-GaSb. Parameters of loca
lized states are determined which allow one to check quantitatively the the
oretical predictions for Mott's variable range hopping transport. The exist
ing theory is found to describe adequately the low temperature de conductiv
ity and hopping thermopower; however, high temperature thermopower and ac c
onductivity show appreciable deviations from the theoretical predictions.
