Width of the Zero-Field Superconducting Resistive Transition in the Vicinity of the Localization Threshold

Abstract

Resistive superconducting zero-field transition in amorphous In-O films in states from the vicinity of the insulator-superconductor transition is analyzed in terms of two characteristic temperatures: the upper one, Tc0T_{c0}, where the finite amplitude of the order parameter is established and the lower one, TcT_c, where the phase ordering takes place. It follows from the magnetoresistance measurements that the resistance in between, Tc<T<Tc0T_c<T<T_{c0}, cannot be ascribed to dissipation by thermally dissociated vortex pairs. So, it is not Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii transition that happens at TcT_c.
