Abstract
The frequency, temperature and field dependences of the audio frequency AC loss in a series of sputtered hydrogenated amorphous germanium samples are investigated over the temperature range 1 - 10K. The results conflict with the predictions of the model in which electrons are assumed to tunnel between localised states uniformly distributed in space and in energy.
