Abstract
We characterize the non-Ohmic portion of the conductivity at temperatures T < 1 K in the highly correlated transition metal chalcogenide Ni(S, Se)_2. Pressure tuning of the T = 0 metal-insulator transition reveals the influence of the quantum critical point and permits a direct determination of the dynamical critical exponent z = 2.7_(-0.4)^(+0.3) Within the framework of finite temperature scaling, we find that the spatial correlation length exponent ν and the conductivity exponent μ differ.
