On the possibility of a metallic phase in granular superconducting films
  We investigate the possibility of finding a zero-temperature metallic phase in granular superconducting films. We are able to identify the breakdown of the conventional treatment of these systems as dissipative Bose systems. We do not find a metallic state at zero temperature. At finite temperatures, we find that the system exhibit crossover behaviour which may have implications for the analysis of experimental results. We also investigate the effect of vortex dissipation in these systems.
