Power law resistivity behavior in 2D superconductors across the magnetic-field tuned superconductor-insulator transition

arXiv:cond-mat/0410724 · doi:10.1209/epl/i2006-10152-3

Abstract

We present the results of a systematic study of thin-films of amorphous indium-oxide near the superconductor-insulator transition. We show that the film's resistivity follows a simple, well-defined, power-law dependence on the perpendicular magnetic field. This dependence holds well into the insulating state. Our results indicate that vortices play a central role in the transport of our films in the superconducting as well as insulating phases.
