Resumo

We study the superconductor-insulator transition in nanohole ultrathin films in a transverse magnetic field by numerical simulation of a Josephson-junction array model. Geometrical disorder due to the random location of nanoholes in the film corresponds to random flux in the array model. Monte Carlo simulation in the path-integral representation is used to determine the critical behavior and the universal resistivity at the transition as a function of disorder and average number of flux quanta per cell, f(o). The resistivity increases with disorder for noninteger f(o) while it decreases for integer f(o), and reaches a common constant value in a vortex-glass regime above a critical value of the flux disorder D-f(c). The estimate of D-f(c) and the resistivity increase for noninteger f(o) are consistent with recent experiments on ultrathin superconducting films with positional disordered nanoholes. (AU)
