Phase fluctuations in a strongly disordered s-wave NbN superconductor close to the metal-insulator transition.
We explore the role of phase fluctuations in a three-dimensional s-wave superconductor, NbN, as we approach the critical disorder for destruction of the superconducting state. Close to critical disorder, we observe a finite gap in the electronic spectrum which persists at temperatures well above T(c). The superfluid density is strongly suppressed at low temperatures and evolves towards a linear...
متن کاملPseudogap in a thin film of a conventional superconductor.
A superconducting state is characterized by the gap in the electronic density of states, which vanishes at the superconducting transition temperature T(c). It was discovered that in high-temperature superconductors, a noticeable depression in the density of states, the pseudogap, still remains even at temperatures above T(c). Here, we show that a pseudogap exists in a conventional superconducto...
متن کاملEnhancement of the finite-frequency superfluid response in the pseudogap regime of strongly disordered superconducting films
The persistence of a soft gap in the density of states above the superconducting transition temperature Tc, the pseudogap, has long been thought to be a hallmark of unconventional high-temperature superconductors. However, in the last few years this paradigm has been strongly revised by increasing experimental evidence for the emergence of a pseudogap state in strongly-disordered conventional s...
متن کاملInsulator interface effects in sputter . . deposited NbN / MgO / NbN ( superconductor - insulator - superconductor } tunnel junctions
All refractory, NbN/MgO/NbN (superconductor-insulator-superconductor) tunnel junctions have been fabricated by in situ sputter deposition. The influence ofMgO thickness (0.8-6.0 nm) deposited under different sputtering ambients at various deposition rates on current-voltage (IV) characteristics of small-area ( 30 X 30 pm) tunnel junctions is studied. The NbN/MgO/NbN trilayer is deposited in sit...
متن کاملEigenfunction fractality and pseudogap state near the superconductor-insulator transition.
We develop a theory of a pseudogap state appearing near the superconductor-insulator (SI) transition in strongly disordered metals with an attractive interaction. We show that such an interaction combined with the fractal nature of the single-particle wave functions near the mobility edge leads to an anomalously large single-particle gap in the superconducting state near SI transition that pers...
