Probing electron-electron interaction along with superconducting fluctuations in disordered TiN thin films

چکیده

In two-dimensional (2D) disordered superconductors prior to superconducting (SC) transition, the appearance of a resistance peak in temperature dependent $R(T)$ measurements indicates presence weak localization (WL) and electron-electron interaction (EEI) diffusion channel SC fluctuations Cooper channel. Here, we demonstrate an interplay between EEI by low-temperature magnetotransport for set 2D TiN thin films. While cooling sample, characteristic ${T}^{*}$ is obtained from at which start appear. The upturn above corresponds WL and/or EEI. By field dependences observed resistance, show that originates mainly with negligible contribution WL. Further, have used modified Larkin's attraction strength $\ensuremath{\beta}(T/{T}_{\mathrm{c}})$, containing field-induced pair-breaking parameter, Maki-Thompson fluctuation term. dependence $\ensuremath{\beta}(T/{T}_{\mathrm{c}})$ magnetoresistance (MR) analysis shows diverging behavior close ${T}_{\mathrm{c}}$, it remains almost constant higher within limit $\mathrm{ln}(T/{T}_{\mathrm{c}})<1$. Interestingly, variation on reduced $(T/{T}_{\mathrm{c}})$ offers common trend has been closely followed all concerned samples presented this paper. Finally, inverse phase scattering time (${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$), as MR analysis, clearly two different regimes; first one ${T}_{\mathrm{c}}$ follows Ginzburg-Landau relaxation rate $({\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\mathrm{GL}}^{\ensuremath{-}1})$, whereas second high varies linearly temperature, indicating dominance inelastic dephasing mechanism. These regimes are generic way despite being grown under growth conditions.

Electron - phonon interaction in thin copper and gold films

We have studied the electron-phonon (e-p) interaction in thin Cu and Au films at sub-Kelvin temperatures with the help of the hot electron effect, using symmetric normal metal-insulator-superconductor tunnel junction pairs as thermometers. By Joule heating the electron gas and measuring the electron and the lattice temperatures simultaneously, we show that the electron-phonon scattering rate fo...

Electron–phonon scattering in disordered metallic films

The quantum interference between ‘pure’ electron–phonon and electron-boundary/impurity scattering drastically changes the electron–phonon relaxation rate. If impurities and boundaries vibrate in the same way as the host lattice, the electron–phonon relaxation rate is significantly decreased. In the presence of the scattering potential that does not vibrate with phonons (e.g. rigid boundaries, i...

Electron weak localization in disordered films.

The logarithmic temperature dependence of resistivity, commonly observed in disordered films, has generally been interpreted as evidence for electron weak localization, with its slope indicative of the inelastic scattering mechanism. In this work, we show that the two-dimensional ~2D! quantum percolation ~QP! model, pertaining to disordered metallic films, predicts a sample-size-dependent lnL c...

Superconductivity in disordered thin films: giant mesoscopic fluctuations.

We discuss the intrinsic inhomogeneities of superconductive properties of uniformly disordered thin films with a large dimensionless conductance g. It is shown that mesoscopic fluctuations, which usually contain a small factor 1/g, are crucially enhanced near the critical conductance g(cF) >> 1 where superconductivity is destroyed at T = 0 due to Coulomb suppression of the Cooper attraction. Th...
