Abstract
We study the low temperature behavior of an amorphous superconducting film driven normal by a perpendicular magnetic-field (). For this purpose we introduce a new two-fluid formulation consisting of fermionized field-induced vortices and electrically neutralized Bogoliubov quasiparticles (spinons) interacting via a long-ranged statistical interaction. This approach allows us to access a novel non-Fermi-liquid phase, which naturally interpolates between the low superconductor and the high normal metal. We discuss the properties of the resulting “vortex metal” phase.
