Abstract
W-Re amorphous films have been prepared with thicknesses ranging from 30 to 1000 Å and with the concentration of Re between 30 and 70 at.%. The influence of thickness and related atomic disorder on the superconducting and transport properties has been studied. In particular, both the decrease of the superconducting transition temperature with increasing and the low-field magnetoresistance are adequately described by the relevant theories of Maekawa and Fukuyama and Larkin based on the localization effect. We have also shown that the W-Re system is dominated by a strong spin-orbit effect and that interaction effects are responsible for the low-temperature logarithmic increase of the resistance for low- samples.
