Abstract

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 scaling behavior was confirmed for the states of the film near the zero-field SIT, the SIT scenario changed for the deeper states in the superconducting phase; in addition to the scaling function describing the conductivity of the fluctuation-induced Cooper pairs, the temperature-dependent contribution to the film resistance emerged. This contribution can originate from the conductivity of normal electrons.
