Quantum Phase Transitions and Enhancement of Superconductivity by a Parallel Magnetic Field in Two Dimensional Superconductors

This dissertation describes several studies of superconducting phenomena in two dimensions. We have investigated the superconductor-insulator quantum phase transitions (SITs) tuned by several parameters, namely disorder (d), magnetic field (B), and magnetic impurities (MI). The films have been exami...
