thin films<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-5331\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-5331\"><p align=\"justify\">The mechanism of the SIT was studied in MoC thin films and in granular Boron doped diamond (BdD). By studying the MoC thin films we found that the bosonic scenario of the SIT is not universal. Our transport and low \u2013 temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) experiments demonstrated that the SIT in MoC thin films follows the Fermionic scenario, instead [1]. Moreover, we observed that the spectral smearing increases substantially with the increasing disorder (decreasing film thickness) [1,2]. Based on our measurements, the theory of Dynes superconductors was developed by Hlubina and Herman [3] which explains the smearing by considering local magnetic moments emerging at the interface between the thin film and the substrate [2].This theory was then successfully applied in the characterization of the complex conductivity in disordered 10 nm thin MoC superconducting films [4]. In BdD we studied the bosonic scenario of the SIT. We found that in this case, the suppression of superconductivity is associated with the loss of global coherence in the Cooper pair condensate [5].<\/p><p align=\"justify\">Recently, the SIT in a transverse magnetic field was studied in a highly disordered MoC film with the product of the Fermi momentum and the mean free path kFl close to unity [6]. Surprisingly, the Zeeman paramagnetic effects dominate over orbital coupling on both sides of the transition. In the superconducting state it is evidenced by a high upper critical magnetic field B<sub>c2<\/sub>, by its square-root dependence on temperature, as well as by the Zeeman splitting of the quasiparticle density of states (DOS) measured by scanning tunneling microscopy. At B<sub>c2<\/sub> a logarithmic anomaly in DOS is observed. This anomaly is further enhanced in an increasing magnetic field, which is explained by the Zeeman splitting of the Altshuler-Aronov DOS driving the system into a more insulating or resistive state. A spin-dependent Altshuler-Aronov correction is also needed to explain the transport behavior above B<sub>c2<\/sub>.<\/p><ol><li>P. Szab\u00f3, T. Samuely, V. Ha\u0161kov\u00e1, J.

We showed that seemingly two-gap behavior is just a consequence of sample inhomogeneities and is not a reflection of existence of two energy gaps. From the heat capacity measurements it is clearly observed that only one energy gap exists in the quasiparticles spectrum. Minute traces of additional superconducting phases detected by STS and also in the heat capacity measured in high magnetic fields on a high-quality and seemingly single-phase crystal might mimic the multigap superconductivity of Mo<sub>8<\/sub>Ga<sub>41<\/sub> suggested recently in several studies.<\/p><ol><li>M.

We showed that, in spite of some other measurements indicating two-gap superconductivity, the system is a single-gap superconductor. This is also supported by the results of ARPES measurements. Moreover, in [3] we present observation of unexpected effect in the system when superconducting vortices remain locked in between the layers of the sample even in tilted magnetic field. This so-called lock-in effect could be related to observation of the two-gap-like behavior in the superfluid density of the material [1].<\/p><ol><li>Z. Pribulov\u00e1, Z. Medveck\u00e1, J.
