Abstract
We have made systematic studies for both the zero-field and field-driven superconductor-insulator transitions in a series of 4-nm-thick films of amorphous at temperatures down to ∼0.05 K and fields up to 15 T. For superconducting films, we have observed an anomalous peak in the magnetoresistance and a subsequent decrease in with increasing at low temperatures in fields higher than the critical field This result, together with finding that the magnetoresistance is always positive for insulating films, may suggest the presence of localized Cooper pairs even at in the limit of
