normal state of homogeneously disordered epitaxial NbN thin films with k F l∼ 1.68–10.12.
The superconducting transition temperature (T c) of these films varies from 2.7 to 16.8 K.
While our least disordered film displays usual metallic behavior, for all the films with k F l≤
8.13, both d ρ d T and d RH d T are negative up to 285 K. We observe that RH (T) varies
linearly with ρ (T) for all the films and [RH (T)− RH (285 K) RH (285 K)]= γ [ρ (T)− ρ (285 K) ρ …
