Anomalous Parallel Field Negative Magnetoresistance in Ultrathin Films Near the Superconductor-Insulator Transition

arXiv:cond-mat/0406250 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.70.212510

Abstract

A parallel field negative magnetoresistance has been found in quench-condensed ultrathin films of amorphous bismuth in the immediate vicinity of the thickness-tuned superconductor-insulator transition. The effect appears to be a signature of quantum fluctuations of the order parameter associated with the quantum critical point.
