In some materials superconductivity co-exists with a certain amount of disorder. The true microscopic nature of disordered superconductors remains unknown [1]. These systems have mainly been investigated in transport experiments which average over the macroscopic sample area. More recently, scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) measurements revealed large spatial fluctuations of the superconducting gap, indicating a local modification of the ground-state [2]. Here, we will present preliminary results of high resolution STM measurements enabled by utilizing superconducting tips. We study thin films of amorphous InO and polycrystalline NbN as well as a 400 nm TiN sample. We observe local gap variations on the nanometer length scale and resolve a number of in-gap states showing high fluctuations both in energy and spatial distribution.
