Abstract

Electron transport properties of titanium nanowires were experimentally studied. Below the effective diameter ≲\lesssim 50 nm all samples demonstrated a pronounced broadening of the R(T)R(T) dependencies, which cannot be accounted for thermal flcutuations. An extensive microscopic and elemental analysis indicates the absence of structural or/and geometrical imperfection capable to broaden the the R(T)R(T) transition to such an extent. We associate the effect with quantum flucutuations of the order parameter.
