Cooper pairs under the action of disorder and strong magnetic field

Abstract

The zero temperature phase diagram of Cooper pairs exposed to disorder and magnetic field is found to exhibit four distinct phases: a Bose and a Fermi insulating, a metallic and a superconducting phase, respectively. The results explain the giant negative magneto-resistance found experimentally in In-O, TiN, Bi and high-$T_c$ materials.
