Table 1.

TALD is the deposition temperature; d is film thickness; Rmax is the resistance at the maximum of R(T); R77 is the resistance per square at T=77 K; Tc is the critical temperature determined from the SF-fits; TBKT is BKT transition temperature; D is the diffusion coefficient D=0.882Tc/(eBc2) (see Fig. 2 in SI for Bc2); n is the Hall carrier density (see SI). In all investigated Nb1−xTixN films the mean free path is very small (same order as lattice constant), so all samples are in dirty limit l<ξ0. Films S3-1, S3-2 and S3-3 are same films as S3-4, but that have degraded with time.
