Hall effect at the magnetic-field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition
The Hall effect for disordered superconducting films in magnetic field is discussed, with special focus on the vicinity of the magnetic field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition. Evidence is presented that upon ensemble averaging this transition possesses a "hidden" particle/hole symmetry. This symmetry implies that right at the transition the Hall resistance vanishes. Relevance to recent...
متن کاملMagnetic-Field-Driven Superconductor-Insulator-Type Transition in Graphite
A magnetic-field-driven transition from metallicto semiconducting-type behavior in the basal-plane resistance takes place in highly oriented pyrolytic graphite at a field Hc ∼ 1 kOe applied along the hexagonal c-axis. The analysis of the data reveals a striking similarity between this transition and that measured in thinfilm superconductors and Si MOSFET’s. However, in contrast to those materia...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo study of a magnetic-field-driven two-dimensional superconductor-insulator transition
We numerically study the superconductor-insulator phase transition in a model disordered two-dimensional 2D superconductor as a function of applied magnetic field. The calculation involves quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the 2+1 D XY model in the presence of both disorder and magnetic field. The XY coupling is assumed to have the form −J cos i− j −Aij , where Aij has a mean of zero and a st...
متن کاملMagnetic-Field Induced Superconductor-Insulator Transition in the La2-xSrxCuO4 System.
The magnetoresistance of underdoped La22xSrxCuO films with x 0.048 and 0.051 is studied in magnetic fields up to 8.5 T and at temperatures down to 30 mK. The results indicate that the magnetic-field induced superconductor-insulator (SI) transition is qualitatively different from the reentrant transition described for indium oxide and interpreted as leading to a “bosonic insulator” phase. The ...
متن کاملThe Superconductor Insulator Transition
As the thickness or magnetic field is varied in thin films a transition between superconducting and insulating phases takes place. This quantum phase transition obeys scaling relations and occurs at seemingly universal critical resistance. This paper reviews experiments that demonstrate this transition and measure the critical exponents. The microscopic theories are outlined and lead to differe...
