"Fluctuations in Superconductors Near the Super-to-Insulator Transition"

Presented by Thomas Lemberger, Ohio State University

Thursday, April 6, 2006, 1:30 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

Thermal and quantum fluctuations in the phase of a 2D or quasi-2D superconductor are expected to be important when the superconductor is near the super-to-insulator transition. Examples include strongly underdoped cuprates and very thin films of conventional materials like Mo-Ge alloys. We have probed phase fluctuations through measurements of the superfluid density (magnetic penetration depth) in such materials and find that in severely underdoped cuprates phase fluctuations are present, but much less important than expected.
