Abstract

We have measured R(T,B)R(T,B) of a TiN thin-film very close to the disorder-driven superconductor-insulator transition but still superconducting at zero field and low temperatures. In a magnetic field we find three distinct crossing point of the magnetoresistance isotherms occur at magnetic fields BcXB_{cX} in three different temperature regions. Each crossing point in R(T,B)R(T,B) corresponds to a plateau in R(T,BcX)R(T,B_{cX}). We systematically study the evolution of these crossing point near the disorder-induced superconductor/insulator transition, identify the most promising candidate for a quantum phase transition, and provide estimates for the two critical exponents zz and ν\nu.
