The KosterlitzThouless transition can be observed experimentally in systems like 2D Josephson junction arrays by taking current and voltage (I-V) measurements. This approach was used in Resnick et al.

Though implications have been found in numerous thin superconducting films [Minnhagen, 1987; Fiory etal., 1988; Davis etal., 1990; Matsuda etal., 1993; Crane etal., 2007], highly anisotropic cuprates [Wen etal., 1998; Corson etal., 1999; Li etal., 2005], oxide interfaces [Reyren etal., 2007; Caviglia etal., 2008; Schneider etal., 2009], the results have remained inconclusive (see e.g. Phys. ) ln {\displaystyle S=2k_{\rm {B}}\ln(R/a)} Lett. c WebRemarkably, a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition with TBKT 310 mK is revealed in up to 60 nm thick flakes, which is nearly an order of magnitude thicker than the rare examples of two-dimensional superconductors exhibiting such a transition. Conclusions: In conclusion, we have proposed that superconducting transition in the heavy fermion superlattice of Mizukami et al. To arrive at this result we perform a detailed renormalization group analysis of the multicritical theory including all perturbations Therefore, one may expect that fluctuating magnetic order may influence the vortex dynamics in the heavy fermion superlattices. and R.E. is Boltzmann's constant. v+`>= o3n qB"`PV vk.E|'"yb=lDdh#pG~ftrLo#VG8cahMHV.6@:k3Y5;qOn2I qLtJRUt /7UI Due to the small power (1)/1/5similar-to-or-equals115(1-\theta)/\theta\simeq 1/5( 1 - italic_ ) / italic_ 1 / 5, for a given TBKTsubscriptBKTT_{\rm BKT}italic_T start_POSTSUBSCRIPT roman_BKT end_POSTSUBSCRIPT, a small change in the vortex core energy leads to significant change in the dielectric constant. Lett. In normal metal/heavy fermion superconductor proximity effect studies, it was realized that the large mismatch of effective mass at the interface leads to huge suppression of transmission of electron probability currents [Fenton, 1985]. 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 A.J.
