Screening and conductance relaxations in insulating granular aluminium
thin films
   [PDF]

Julien Delahaye, Thierry Grenet
We have recently found in insulating granular Al thin film a new experimental feature (Delahaye et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 186602, 2011), namely the existence of a conductance relaxation that is not sensitive to gate voltage changes. This conductance relaxation is related to the existence of a metallic-like screening in the film and can be used to estimate its characteristic length scale. In the present paper, we give some experimental details on how this feature was measured and present our first results on the screening length temperature dependence.
