✦ Synopsis
A comparison has been made between R(T) curves of Bi films grown on ceramic substrates held near helium temperatures with those first grown in this manner, and then overlaid with amorphous Ge (a-Ge) while held at helium temperatures. The dramatic changes in R(T) resulting from the overlay suggest that a-Ge substrates play an active role in electrical transport. This result has implications for the interpretation of experiments on the superconductorinsulator transition.
