Abstract

The H-T phase diagram of two-dimensional amorphous MoGe superconductors is studied near H(c2) and near the melting line of the vortex lattice. Good agreement with the lowest Landau level approximation is found for the broadening of the specific heat in a field. We also find that melting of the vortex lattice can be observed only on short enough length scales, shorter than the disorder-mediated lattice correlation length.
