摘要:

我们提出了一个相图作为三维NbN薄膜中的无序的函数,作为系统进入临界无序的超导状态的破坏。超导状态的研究使用相结合的磁输运和隧道光谱测量。我们的研究揭示了3种不同的紊乱状态。在低无序度(k_{F} 1 ~10-4)下,系统遵循平均场Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer行为,在出现电阻的温度下,超导能隙消失。对于较强的无序(k_{F} 1 <4),出现“伪带隙”状态,其中电子光谱中的带隙持续到远高于Tc的温度,这表明即使在零电阻状态被破坏之后,库珀对继续存在于系统中。最后,非常强无序的样品(k_{F} 1 <1)在低温下表现出明显的磁阻峰,表明即使在整体超导基态被完全破坏后,局部库珀对仍继续存在于系统中。

英文摘要:

We present a phase diagram as a function of disorder in three-dimensional NbN thin films, as the system enters the critical disorder for the destruction of the superconducting state. The superconducting state is investigated using a combination of magnetotransport and tunneling spectroscopy measurements. Our studies reveal 3 different disorder regimes. At low disorder the (k_{F}l~10-4), the system follows the mean field Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer behavior where the superconducting energy gap vanishes at the temperature where electrical resistance appears. For stronger disorder (k_{F}l<4) a "pseudogap" state emerges where a gap in the electronic spectrum persists up to temperatures much higher than Tc, suggesting that Cooper pairs continue to exist in the system even after the zero resistance state is destroyed. Finally, very strongly disordered samples (k_{F}l<1) exhibit a pronounced magnetoresistance peak at low temperatures, suggesting that localized Cooper pairs continue to survive in the system even after the global superconducting ground state is completely destroyed.
