Superconductivity in granular films is controlled by the grain size and the inter-grain coupling. In a two-component granular system formed by a random mixture of a normal metal (N) and a superconductor (S), the superconducting nano-grains…
We investigate transport in a granular metallic system at large tunneling conductance between the grains, $g_T\gg 1$. We show that at low temperatures, $T\leq g_T\delta $, where $\delta$ is the single mean energy level spacing in a grain,…
Two single crystal phases of tantalum nitride were stabilized on c-plane sapphire using molecular beam epitaxy. The phases were identified to be $\delta$-TaN with a rocksalt cubic structure and $\gamma$-Ta$_2$N with a hexagonal structure.…
We investigate the suppression of the superconducting transition temperature due to Coulomb repulsion in granular metallic systems at large tunneling conductance between the grains, $g_{T}\gg 1$. We find the correction to the…
Superconductivity has been found in RuN films obtained by reactive magnetron sputtering. This is a novel member of the metal nitride superconductors family. The critical temperature of the superconducting transition varies depending on the…
Ta-doped SnO$_2$ films with high conductivity and high optical transparency have been successfully fabricated using rf-sputtering method and their electrical transport properties have been investigated. All films reveal degenerate…
The electrical conductivity induced near the superconducting transition by thermal fluctuations was measured in different granular aluminum films. The seemingly anomalous behavior at high reduced temperatures and magnetic fields is…
We report on the influence of the chemical composition on the electronic properties of molybdenum oxynitrides thin films grown by reactive sputtering on Si (100) substrates at room temperature. The partial pressure of Ar was fixed at 90 %,…
We have measured the Hall coefficient $R_H$ and the electrical conductivity $\sigma$ of a series of ultrathin indium tin oxide films between 2 and 300 K. A robust $R_H$\,$\propto$\,ln$T$ law is observed in a considerably wide temperature…
Superconductivity realized in bilayer nickelate thin films enables direct spectroscopic and transport studies at ambient pressure. However, a persistent two-step resistive transition remains a major barrier to achieving optimal…
We investigate transport in a granular metallic system at large tunneling conductance between the grains. We show that at low temperatures, $T\leq g_T\delta $, where $\delta$ is the single mean energy level spacing in a grain, the coherent…
Superconducting properties of thin films can be vastly different from those of bulk materials. Seminal work has shown the critical temperature Tc of elemental superconductors decreases with decreasing film thickness when the normal-state…
We show that the normal state transport properties of nano-scale granular Aluminum films, near the metal to insulator transition, present striking similarities with those of Kondo systems. Those include a negative magneto-resistance, a…
We have studied the low-temperature electrical transport properties of Pb$_x$(SiO$_2$)$_{1-x}$ ($x$ being the Pb volume fraction) nanogranular films with thicknesses of $\sim$1000 nm and $x$ spanning the dielectric, transitional, and…
Granular aluminum, which consists of nanometer-sized aluminum grains separated by aluminum oxide, is a peculiar superconductor. Its phase diagram as function of normal-state resistivity features a superconducting dome with a maximum…
