Abstract
We have measured $R(T,B)$ of a TiN thin-film very close to the disorder-driven superconductor-insulator transition but still superconducting at zero field and low temperatures. In a magnetic field we find three distinct crossing point of the magnetoresistance isotherms occur at magnetic fields $B_{cX}$ in three different temperature regions. Each crossing point in $R(T,B)$ corresponds to a plateau in $R(T,B_{cX})$. We systematically study the evolution of these crossing point near the disorder-induced superconductor/insulator transition, identify the most promising candidate for a quantum phase transition, and provide estimates for the two critical exponents $z$ and $\nu$.
