Notes:
We have studied the effects of disorder in a series of Sn films quench-condensed onto cryogenically cooled substrates. We find a simple scaling of the conductivity with film thickness Σ ~ (d - d c )Ν, with Ν ≅ 0.85, and a metal-insulator transition near d c ≅ 40–50 ». The superconducting transition temperatures depend linearly on 1/d, provided d is not too small, and the films exhibit strong annealing effects. These features are explained using a model in which grain boundary scattering dominates intragrain scattering.
