Abstract
We have performed systematic tunneling measurements on two-dimensional quench-condensed films of Sn and Pb to investigate the destruction of superconductivity by localization effects. With increasing sheet resistance of the films, the energy gaps and ${T}_{c}$'s decrease only slightly, but the gap edges broaden until the width becomes comparable to the gap. Associated with this broadening are low-temperature finite-resistance tails in the resistive transitions.
