  bibo_abstract:
  - Recent scanning tunneling microscopy experiments in NbN thin disordered superconducting
    films found an emergent inhomogeneity at the scale of tens of nanometers. This
    inhomogeneity is mirrored by an apparent dimensional crossover in the paraconductivity
    measured in transport above the superconducting critical temperature Tc. This
    behavior was interpreted in terms of an anomalous diffusion of fluctuating Cooper
    pairs that display a quasiconfinement (i.e., a slowing down of their diffusive
    dynamics) on length scales shorter than the inhomogeneity identified by tunneling
    experiments. Here, we assume this anomalous diffusive behavior of fluctuating
    Cooper pairs and calculate the effect of these fluctuations on the electron density
    of states above Tc. We find that the density of states is substantially suppressed
    up to temperatures well above Tc. This behavior, which is closely reminiscent
    of a pseudogap, only arises from the anomalous diffusion of fluctuating Cooper
    pairs in the absence of stable preformed pairs, setting the stage for an intermediate
    behavior between the two common paradigms in the superconducting-insulator transition,
    namely, the localization of Cooper pairs (the so-called bosonic scenario) and
    the breaking of Cooper pairs into unpaired electrons due to strong disorder (the
    so-called fermionic scenario).@eng
