Abstract Barely insulating, uncompensated Si:P samples have been tuned through the metal‐insulator transition applying uniaxial stress along the [100] direction. We find a critical exponent μ ≈ 1 of the electrical conductivity extrapolated to temperature T = 0, i.e. σ( T → 0, S ) ∼ | S — S c | μ , in disagreement with earlier stress tuning studies along [123‐] where μ ≈ 0.5 was reported. Varying the stress or the concentration leads to a different T dependence of σ( T ). Our stress‐tuning measurements obey finite‐ T scaling with a dynamic exponent z = 3.
