Weakly disordered two-dimensional superconductors undergo a Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition, where at a critical temperature vortices proliferate through the system and destroy the superconducting (SC) order. On the other hand, it was…
Any state of matter is classified according to its order, and the kind of order a physical system can posses is profoundly affected by its dimensionality. Conventional long-range order, like in a ferromagnet or a crystal, is common in…
