It has been suggested [Pierson et al., Phys. Rev. B 60, 1309 (1999); Ammirata et al., Physica C 313, 225 (1999)] that for 2D superconductors there exists a phase transition with the dynamic critical exponent z\approx 5.6. We perform…
Phase transition in its strict sense can only be observed in an infinite system, for which equilibration takes an infinitely long time at criticality. In numerical simulations, we are often limited both by the finiteness of the system size…
