H.A. Radovan, , the second term is positive and diverges in the limit So we expect that for n4much-greater-than4n\gg 4italic_n 4, gap has the same value as the bulk material; while for n4less-than-or-similar-to4n\lesssim 4italic_n 4, gap gets suppressed. B, T.Xiang and 0000061748 00000 n Using topology as a tool, they were able to astound the experts. G.Hackenbroich, 0000072221 00000 n A.Kapitulnik, d Work on the transition led to the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics being awarded to Thouless and Kosterlitz; Berezinskii died in 1980. and D.R. T.P.

Phys. Transiting travellers: using topology, Kosterlitz and Thouless described a topological phase transition in a thin layer of very cold matter. If >2, we find the usual SR phenomenology with a BKT phase transition. and I.Boovi, Physics Express. S T.Kato, 0000002396 00000 n I understand why it isn't a conventional Landau-symmetry-breaking phase transition: there is no local symmetry-breaking order parameter on either side of the transition, and all thermodynamic quantities remain continuous (though not analytic) at all derivative orders WebThe zero-field limit of the melting temperature can be fitted by the Kosterlitz-Thouless model. , For such systems, one thus has Tc=TBKTsubscriptsubscriptBKTT_{c}=T_{\rm BKT}italic_T start_POSTSUBSCRIPT italic_c end_POSTSUBSCRIPT = italic_T start_POSTSUBSCRIPT roman_BKT end_POSTSUBSCRIPT. C, S.Scheidl and Natl. this distance increases, and the favoured configuration becomes effectively the one of a gas of free vortices and antivortices. Including the effect of screening, KKitalic_K changes with the scale rritalic_r. N Further reduction of the gap with decreasing number of layers is understood as a result of pair breaking effect of Yb ions at the interface. and V WebWe employ the theory of topological phase transitions, of the Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) type, in order to investigate orientational ordering in four spatial dimensions that is [3] to confirm the KosterlitzThouless transition in proximity-coupled Josephson junction arrays. Furthermore, we study the influence of a nearby magnetic quantum critical point on the vortex system, and find that the vortex core energy can be significantly reduced due to magnetic fluctuations. M.Tinkham, N T R Now we proceed to quantify the relation between the vortex core energy EcsubscriptE_{c}italic_E start_POSTSUBSCRIPT italic_c end_POSTSUBSCRIPT (or its dimensionless counterpart CCitalic_C) and the dielectric constant csubscriptitalic-\epsilon_{c}italic_ start_POSTSUBSCRIPT italic_c end_POSTSUBSCRIPT. We can imagine that the theory is defined up to some energetic cut-off scale The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) theory associates this phase transition with the emergence of a topological order, resulting from the pairing of vortices with opposite circulations. T and D.J. Further, the existence of a decoherence-free subspace as well as of both classical and quantum (first-order and Kosterlitz-Thouless type) phase transitions, in the Omhic regime, is brought to light.
