Research Abstract |
We have performed electronic spectroscopy and observed superconducting electronic states in boron-doped diamond by using scanning tunneling microscope in order to study the effect of the disorder on the superconductivity near the metal-insulator transition. We have observed the boron concentration dependence of the tunneling spectra and the spatial variation of the local density of states. The results indicate that the boron doping enhances not only the carrier concentration but also the disorder density.
