Critical Dynamics of a Vortex Loop Model for the Superconducting Transition

Superconductivity 2009-11-07 v2 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We calculate analytically the dynamic critical exponent zMCz_{MC} measured in Monte Carlo simulations for a vortex loop model of the superconducting transition, and account for the simulation results. In the weak screening limit, where magnetic fluctuations are neglected, the dynamic exponent is found to be zMC=3/2z_{MC} = 3/2. In the perfect screening limit, zMC=5/2z_{MC} = 5/2. We relate zMCz_{MC} to the actual value of zz observable in experiments and find that z2z \sim 2, consistent with some experimental results.
