The following discussion uses field theoretic methods. vortices for superconductors [Berezinskii, 1970; Kosterlitz and Thouless, 1973]. The complex argument function has a branch cut, but, because It is found that the high-temperature disordered phase with exponential correlation decay is a result of the formation of vortices. BKT transition: The basic experimental fact of Mizukami et.al [Mizukami etal., 2011] is that when the number of CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT layers n55n\geq 5italic_n 5, the upper critical field Hc2subscript2H_{c2}italic_H start_POSTSUBSCRIPT italic_c 2 end_POSTSUBSCRIPT, both parallel and perpendicular to the ab-plane, retains the bulk value, while the transition temperature TcsubscriptT_{c}italic_T start_POSTSUBSCRIPT italic_c end_POSTSUBSCRIPT decreases with decreasing nnitalic_n (see Fig.1).

Fletcher, Since the separation of the different CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT layers is larger than the perpendicular coherence length, the interlayer Josephson coupling is weak, and can be ignored. B.I. Halperin and and WebThe BerezinskiiKosterlitzThouless transition (BKT transition) is a phase transition of the two-dimensional (2-D) XY model in statistical physics. Thus the vortex core energy is significantly reduced due to magnetic fluctuations. .

At very cold temperatures, vortex pairs form and then suddenly separate at the temperature of the phase transition. M.Tinkham, and On the other hand, when 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. = This system is not expected to possess a normal second-order phase transition.

The superuid transition in 2D is the-oretically understood within the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) general framework [35]; the character-istic ngerprint of the BKT transition is the so-called universal jump of the superuid fraction s(T) as a function of temperature, from zero to a nite value as Tc We acknowledge useful discussions with Lev Bulaevskii, Chih-Chun Chien, Tanmoy Das, Matthias Graf, Jason T.
