Fluctuation conductivity in layered d-wave superconductors near critical disorder

Condensed Matter 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

We consider the fluctuation conductivity in the critical region of a disorder induced quantum phase transition in layered d-wave superconductors. We specifically address the fluctuation contribution to the system's conductivity in the limit of large (quasi-two-dimensional system) and small (quasi-three-dimensional system) separation between adjacent layers of the system. Both in-plane and c-axis conductivities were discussed near the point of insulator-superconductor phase transition. The value of the dynamical critical exponent, z=2z=2, permits a perturbative treatment of this quantum phase transition under the renormalization group approach. We discuss our results for the system conductivities in the critical region as function of temperature and disorder.
