Pair tunneling in the low-temperature conductivity of the Cd-Sb alloy high-resistance state near the superconductor-insulator transition
We report a study of the temperature dependence, down to 30 mK, of the magnetoresistance of Cd-Sb alloy in the insulating phase obtained by annealing the quenched metallic superconducting ( T ...

Transport properties of NdBa2Cu3O6+x ceramics at the edge of the superconducting region upon a decrease in carrier density as a result of oxygen disordering in the Cu-O x planes
An initially nonsuperconducting ceramic sample with the composition NdBa2Cu3O6+x is brought, by means of pressure and quenching, to a state with a high carrier density and a superconducting transition, after whi...

Low-temperature resistivity of YBa2Cu3O6+x single crystals in the normal state
A scan of the superconductor-nonsuperconductor transformation in single crystals of YBa2Cu3O6+x (x≈0.37) is done in two alternative ways, namely, by applying a magnetic field and by reducing the hole concentrati...

Destruction of localized electron pairs above the magnetic-field-driven superconductor-insulator transition in amorphous In-O films
The field-induced superconductivity-destroying quantum transition in amorphous indium oxide films are investigated at low temperatures down to 30 mK. It is found that, on the high-field side of the transition,...

Resistive transition and upper critical field in underdoped YBa2Cu3O6+x single crystals
A superconducting transition in the temperature dependence of the ab-plane resistivity of underdoped YBa2Cu3O6+x crystals in the range T c≲30 K has been investigated. Unlike the case of samples with the optimal ...

Scaling analysis of the magnetic field-tuned quantum transition in superconducting amorphous In-O films
We studied the magnetic field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) in amorphous In-O films with different oxygen contents and, hence, different electron densities. Whereas the two-dimensional scalin...

Observation of the parallel-magnetic-field-induced superconductor-insulator transition in thin amorphous InO films
We study the response of a thin superconducting amorphous InO film with variable oxygen content to a magnetic field. A field-induced superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) is observed that is very similar t...

Temperature dependence of the upper critical field as an indicator of boson effects in superconductivity in Nd2−x CexCuO4−y
The temperature dependence of the upper critical field B c 2 was determined from the shift of the resistive transition ΔT(B) in nearly optimally doped Nd2−x CexCuO4−y single c...

Width of the zero-field superconducting resistive transition in the vicinity of the localization threshold
Resistive superconducting zero-field transition in amorphous In-O films in the states in the vicinity of the insulator-superconductor transition is analyzed in terms of two characteristic temperatures: the upper

Suppression of 2D superconductivity by the magnetic field: Quantum corrections vs. The superconductor-insulator transition
Magnetotransport of superconducting Nd2−x CexCuO4+y (NdCeCuO) films is studied in the temperature interval 0.3–30 K. The microscopic theory of the quantum corrections to conductivity, both in the Cooper and in th...

Mooij rule and weak localization
It has been shown that the observed correlation between the resistivity ρ of high-resistivity metallic alloys and the sign of the temperature derivative of their resistivity can be explained by taking into acc...
