摘要:

利用低温扫描隧道谱(STS)研究了强无序NbN薄膜中超导态的磁场演化,该薄膜具有磁场调谐的超导体到类绝缘体的转变.样品的传输测量揭示了特征磁场,其将电阻随温度降低而降低的低场状态(即dR/dT > 0)和dR/dT < 0的高场状态分开。然而,STS成像的超导状态揭示了一个平稳的演变跨越这个领域和存在一个强大的赝隙两侧的这个特征字段。我们的结果表明,超导体-绝缘体转变可能是由超导分数随磁场的收缩所驱动的一种相变。

英文摘要:

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 spectroscopy (STS). Transport measurements of the sample reveals a characteristic magnetic field, which separates the low field state where resistance decreases with decreasing temperature, i.e. dR/dT > 0 and a high-field state where dR/dT < 0. However, STS imaging of the superconducting state reveals a smooth evolution across this field and the presence of a robust pseudogap on both sides of this characteristic field. Our results suggest that the superconductor-insulator transition might be a percolative transition driven by the shrinking of superconducting fraction with magnetic field.
