Abstract
We argue that hopping conductivity dominates on both sides of peaks in low-mobility samples and use a theory of hopping of interacting electrons to estimate a width Δν of the peaks. Explicit expressions for Δν as a function of the temperature T, current J, and frequency ω are found. It is shown that Δν grows with T as (T/, where κ is the inverse-localization-length exponent. The current J is shown to affect the peak width like the effective temperature (J)∝ if (J)≫T. The broadening of the Ohmic ac-conductivity peaks with frequency ω is found to be determined by the effective temperature (ω)∼ħω/.
