Enhancement 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 کاملDisorder-induced inhomogeneities of the superconducting state close to the superconductor-insulator transition.
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy at very low temperatures on homogeneously disordered superconducting titanium nitride thin films reveals strong spatial inhomogeneities of the superconducting gap Delta in the density of states. Upon increasing disorder, we observe suppression of the superconducting critical temperature Tc towards zero, enhancement of spatial fluctuations in Delta, and growth of ...
متن کاملImaging the electron-boson coupling in superconducting FeSe films using a scanning tunneling microscope.
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy has been used to reveal signatures of a bosonic mode in the local quasiparticle density of states of superconducting FeSe films. The mode appears below Tc as a "dip-hump" feature at energy Ω∼4.7kBTc beyond the superconducting gap Δ. Spectra on strained regions of the FeSe films reveal simultaneous decreases in Δ and Ω. This contrasts with all previous reports on ...
متن کاملQuasiparticle Recombination Time of Superconducting Tin Films in a Parallel Magnetic Field
The influence of a parallel magnetic field on the quasiparticle recombination time of superconducting tin tunneling junctions has been determined experimentally. The results are compared with the predictions of a theoretical model that takes into account the modification of the quasiparticle density of states by the applied magnetic field.
متن کامل0 Fluctuation Effects in High Sheet Resistance Superconducting Films ∗
As the normal state sheet resistance, Rn, of a thin film superconductor increases, its superconducting properties degrade. For Rn ≃ h/4e superconductivity disappears and a transition to a nonsuperconducting state occurs. We present electron tunneling and transport measurements on ultrathin, homogeneously disordered superconducting films in the vicinity of this transition. The data provide stron...
