Abstract
Recent data for the characteristics of thin high-sheet-resistance Hg-Xe alloy films are analyzed. It is found that the Coulomb-gas scaling is borne out to an excellent degree. This gives clear evidence that the observed nonlinear characteristics and the resistive tail are caused by vortex fluctuations.
