What is Quantum liquid of vortices at T=0 in thick a-MoxSi1−x films about?

Effects of disorder (or quantum fluctuations) on the vortex phase diagram at low temperature T have been studied on the basis of measurements of dc and ac complex resistivities for thick amorphous Mo x Si 1Àx films with different disorder (normal-state resistivity). Irrespective of disorder, the vortex-glass transition (VGT) persists down to T $ 0:05T c0 up to B $ 0:9B c2 ð0Þ, where T c0 and B c2 ð0Þ are the mean-field transition temperature and upper critical field at T 1⁄4 0, respectively. In the limit T 1⁄4 0, the VGT line B g ðT Þ is independent of T and extrapolates to a field below B c2 ð0Þ, indicative of the presence of a quantum-vortex-liquid (QVL) phase at T 1⁄4 0 in the regime B g ð0Þ < B < B c2 ð0Þ. The width of the T 1⁄4 0 QVL phase, 1⁄2B c2 ð0Þ À B g ð0Þ=B c2 ð0Þ, is wider for a more disordered film. This result is consistent with a view that the QVL phase is driven by quantum fluctuations, which are enhanced with increasing disorder.
