Planar Superconductivity via Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism
نویسنده
چکیده
The phase structure of a (2 + 1) dimensional model of relativistic fermions with a four fermi interaction is analyzed in the strong coupling regime using the large N perturbation theory. It is shown that, this model exhibits a low temperature superconducting phase due to the vortex-anti vortex binding via Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism. Above a critical temperature, vortices unbind and superconductivity is destroyed; at a still higher temperature the vacuum expectation value of a neutral order parameter vanishes. The ground state respects parity and time reversal symmetries.

On the Superconductivity in the Induced Pairing Model
The two component model of coexisting local electron pairs and itinerant fermions coupled via charge exchange mechanism, which mutually induces superconductivity in both subsystems, is discussed. The cases of isotropic s-wave and anisotropic pairing of extended s and dx2−y2 -wave symmetries are analyzed for a 2D square lattice within the BCS-mean field approximation and the Kosterlitz-Thouless ...
متن کاملEvidence for Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition in atomically flat two-dimensional Pb superconducting films
We report results from scanning tunneling microscopy and transport measurements on a series of crystalline lead films containing an integer number of atomic layers, and find that the observed features in sufficiently thin films are consistent with Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless (BKT) physics. Specifically, Cooper pairing and superconductivity disappear at two distinct temperatures; the current...
متن کاملA reassessment of the strain model of superconductivity and a search for a Kosterlitz-Thouless Transition in BaFe2As2
Superconducting crystals of the compound BaFe 2 As 2 , which is a member of the recently discovered class of " 122 structure " iron-arsenic superconductors, MFe 2 As 2 , were made. Our group was the first to observe a complete superconducting resistive transition in the undoped compound BaFe 2 As 2 (). The resistive transition was measured before and after annealing one of the crystals. No disa...
متن کاملSuperconductivity and Chiral Symmetry Breaking with Fermion Clusters
Cluster variables have recently revolutionized numerical work in certain models involving fermionic variables. This novel representation of fermionic partition functions is continuing to find new applications. After describing results from a study of a two dimensional Hubbard type model that confirm a superconducting transition in the Kosterlitz-Thouless universality class, we show how a cluste...
متن کاملOn quasi twodimensional XY magnetism and superconductivity of the second kind
2014 The role of interplanar fluctuations associated with « parallel » vortex loops is considered in the two coupled problems of XY magnetism and superconductivity of the second kind, in a quasitwodimensional situation. Using an admittedly simplified criterion, it is argued that, for weak interplanar couplings, the critical 3d temperature is related to the multiplication of such loops ; it shou...
