Excess noise in the anomalous metallic phase in amorphous indium oxide

Abstract

More than 25 years ago, unexpected metallic behavior was discovered on the superconducting side of the superconductor-to-insulator transition. To this day, the origin of this behavior is unclear. In this work, we present resistance and broadband voltage noise measurements in the kilohertz regime in amorphous indium oxide. We find that the metallic behavior gives rise to excess noise much larger than what is expected from thermal noise with an unexpected frequency and temperature dependence whose origin remains elusive.
