The superconductor-insulator transition in ultrathin films of amorphous Bi was tuned by changing the film thickness, with and without an applied magnetic field. The first experimentally obtained phase diagram is mapped as a function of…
The superconductor-insulator transition of ultrathin films of bismuth, grown on liquid helium cooled substrates, has been studied. The transition was tuned by changing both film thickness and perpendicular magnetic field. Assuming that the…
The disorder-induced Superconductor-to-Insulator Transition in amorphous Nb$_{x}$Si$_{1-x}$ two-dimensional thin films is studied for different niobium compositions $x$ through a variation of the sample thickness $d$. We show that the…
The superconductor-insulator transition in ultrathin films of amorphous Bi was tuned by an applied magnetic field. A finite size scaling analysis has been carried out to determine the critical exponent product vz=0.7 for five films of…
Through a detailed study of scaling near the magnetic field-tuned superconductor-to-insulator transition in strongly disordered films, we find that results for a variety of materials can be collapsed onto a single phase diagram. The data…
Magnetic field and electrostatically tuned superconductor-insulator (SI) transitions of ultrathin metal films with levels of disorder that place them near the disorder-tuned SI transition appear to be direct, continuous quantum phase…
A study of magnetic-field tuned superconductor-insulator transitions in amorphous $Nb_{0.15}Si_{0.85}$ thin films shows that quantum superconductor-insulator transitions are characterized by an unambiguous signature -- a kink in the…
The superconductor-insulator (SI) transition in two-dimensional Ta thin films is investigated by controlling both film thickness and magnetic field. An intriguing metallic phase intervening superconductor and an insulator phase is observed…
We investigate the magnetic field evolution of the superconducting state in a strongly disordered NbN thin film which exhibits a magnetic field tuned superconductor to insulator-like transition, employing low temperature scanning tunneling…
We report the experimental observation of a magnetic-field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) in ultrathin TiN films. The low temperature transport properties of these films show scaling behavior consistent with a transition…
We have observed multiple magnetic field driven superconductor to insulator transitions (SIT) in amorphous Bi films perforated with a nano-honeycomb (NHC) array of holes. The period of the magneto-resistance, H=H_M=h/2eS where S is the area…
The magnetic-field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition has been studied in ultrathin Beryllium films quench-condensed near 20 K. In the zero-current limit, a finite-size scaling analysis yields the scaling exponent product vz = 1.35…
We present results on disordered amorphous films which are expected to undergo a field-tuned Superconductor-Insulator Transition.The addition of a parallel ground plane in proximity to the film changes the character of the…
We have measured $R(T,B)$ 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 magnetic field driven superconductor/insulator transition is studied in a large variety of $La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4$ thin films of various Sr dopings. Temperature dependence of the resistivity down to 4.2 or 1.5 K under high pulsed magnetic…
We investigate transition to the superconducting state in the ultrathin titanium nitride films on approach to superconductor-insulator transition. Building on the complete account of quantum contributions to conductivity, we demonstrate…
In these lectures, superconductivity in impure thin films close to the absolute zero of temperature is discussed. The behavior as function of the applied magnetic field and the amount of impurities suggests the presence of a…

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 a study of the magnetic field tuned superconductor-to-insulator transition (SIT) in the electron gas that forms at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface. We find that the magnetic field induces a transition into a weakly insulating…
