The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition is a typical topological phase transition defined between binding and unbinding states of vortices and antivortices, which is not accompanied by spontaneous symmetry breaking. It is known…
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…
The Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition is a unique two dimensional phase transition, separating two phases with exponentially and power-law decaying correlations, respectively. In disordered systems, these correlations propagate…
Quantum fluctuations can give rise to a singular quantum critical point (QCP) in the ground state, whose influence extends to finite temperatures, forming a quantum critical regime (QCR). Recently, it has been shown that in the quantum…
