Conductance behavior with temperature and magnetic field in the disordered films of titanium nitride
We report in this paper the temperature and mangetic field dependence of the conductance in the polycrystalline film of titanium nitride, before and after heating at ambient conditions. The difference between the two films is the room temperature sheet resistance which remains within 15 percent and both the films show superconducting transition at lower temperatures. The zero field and the high field data, respectively, corresponds to the superconducting and the normal states. Both the films display Atshuler-Aronov zero bias anamoly in their normal states, and the superconducting gap openeing up at low fields. However the heated film has a smaller gap owing to more pronounced zero bias suppression of the density of states. The normal states in both the films are similar to the quasi-2d-disordered metal and its behavior is studied with temperature. Our data suggests that the zero bias anamoly suppresses the superconducting gap with increase in the disorder.
