We have studied the magnetic-field-tuned superconductor-insulator quantum transition (SIT) in amorphous In-O films with different oxygen content and, hence, different electron density. While for states of the film near the zero-field SIT…
We combine measurements of the longitudinal ($\rho_{xx}$) and Hall ($\rho_{xy}$) resistivities of disordered two dimensional amorphous indium-oxide films to study the magnetic-field tuned superconductor to insulator transition (H-SIT) in…
We report results of transport measurements in the quantum critical regime of the disorder tuned, 2D superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) in homogeneously disordered films. We show that, as the superconducting transition temperature…
We present observations of the insulator-superconductor transition in ultrathin films of Bi on solid xenon condensed on quartz and on Ge on quartz. The relative permeability $\epsilon_{r}$ ranges from 1.5 for Xe to 15 for Ge. Though we find…
We present tunneling spectroscopy and transport measurements on disordered indium oxide films that reveal the existence of a superconducting gap in an insulating state. Two films on both sides of the disorder induced superconductor to…
We present the results of a systematic study of thin-films of amorphous indium-oxide near the superconductor-insulator transition. We show that the film's resistivity follows a simple, well-defined, power-law dependence on the perpendicular…
Experiments investigating magnetic-field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition (HSIT) mostly focus on two-dimensional material systems where the transition and its proximate ground-state phases, often exhibit features that are seemingly…
We present results on disordered amorphous films which are expected to undergo a field-tuned Superconductor-Insulator Transition. Based on low-field data and I-V characteristics, we find evidence of a low temperature Metal-to-Superconductor…
We present the results of an experimental study of the current-voltage characteristics in strong magnetic field ($B$) of disordered, superconducting, thin-films of amorphous Indium-Oxide. As the $B$ strength is increased superconductivity…
We present a novel method enabling precise post-fabrication modulation of the electrical resistance in micrometer-scale regions of amorphous indium oxide (a-InO$_x$) films. By subjecting initially insulating films to an electron beam at…
The electrical transport properties of ultrathin YBCO films have been modified using an electric double layer transistor configuration employing an ionic liquid. The films were grown on SrTiO3 substrates using high pressure oxygen…
The magnetically driven superconductor-insulator transition in amorphous thin films (e.g., InO, Ta) exhibits several mysterious phenomena, such as a putative metallic phase and a huge magnetoresistance peak. Unfortunately, several…
We present transport measurements on quench condensed granular Pb films in which the grains are 40-80\AA in diameter. These films show a cross over from an insulator to a superconductor behavior as the nominal thickness of the layer is…
We conducted a systematic study of the disorder dependence of the termination of superconductivity, at high magnetic fields (B), of amorphous indium oxide films. Our lower disorder films show conventional behavior where superconductivity is…
Superconductivity has been induced in insulating ultra-thin films of amorphous bismuth using the electric field effect. The screening of electron-electron interaction was found to increase with electron concentration in a manner correlated…
We study theoretically orbital effects of a parallel magnetic field applied to a disordered superconducting film. We find that the field reduces the phase stiffness and leads to strong quantum phase fluctuations driving the system into an…
Transport data on Bi, MoGe, and PbBi/Ge homogeneously-disordered thin films demonstrate that the critical resistivity, $R_c$, at the nominal insulator-superconductor transition is linearly proportional to the normal sheet resistance, $R_N$.…
We study the dissipation physics of one dimensional mesoscopic superconducting quantum interference device array by using the field-theoretical renormalization group method. We observe length scale dependent superconductor-insulator quantum…
We have studied the thickness-induced superconductor-to-insulator transition in the presence of a magnetic field for a-NbSi thin films. Analyzing the critical behavior of this system within the "dirty boson model", we have found a critical…
Within the Ginzburg-Landau approach a theoretical study is performed of the effects of confinement on the transition to superconductivity for type-I and type-II materials with surface enhancement. The superconducting order parameter is…
