Resistivity of whiskers of high-[ital T][sub [ital c]] layered superconductors below the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition

Journal Article Artemenko, S N ; Wonneberger, W - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter; (United States)

The resistivity of superconducting whiskers of layered superconductors due to thermal creation of in-layer vortices is calculated. The voltage induced by the current along the whisker is obtained from the Fokker-Planck equation for vortex densities. An expression for the current-voltage relation in a magnetic field perpendicular to the layers is found in closed form. Power-law dependence for the resistivity at large currents or large magnetic fields and finite linear resistivity at small currents are predicted. These results also apply to narrow thin films of conventional superconductors.

Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in a spin-charge-separated superconductor

Journal Article Rodriguez, J P - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter; (United States)

A model for spin-charge-separated superconductivity in two dimensions is introduced where the phases of the spinon and holon order parameters couple guage invariantly to a statistical gauge field representing chiral spin fluctuations. The model is analyzed in the continuum limit and in the low-temperature limit. In both cases we find that physical electronic phase correlations show a superconducting-normal phase transition of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless type, while statistical gauge-field excitations are found to be strictly gapless. It is argued that the former transition is in the same universality class as that of the [ital XY] model. We thus predict a universal jumpmore »« less

Dynamic scaling of magnetic flux noise near the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii transition in overdamped Josephson junction arrays

Journal Article Shaw, T J ; Ferrari, M J ; Sohn, L L ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We have used a dc superconducting quantum interference device to measure the magnetic flux noise generated by the equilibrium vortex density fluctuations associated with the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii (KTB) transition in an overdamped Josephson junction array. At temperatures slightly above the KTB transition temperature, the noise is white for {ital f}{lt}{ital f}{sub {xi}} and scales as 1/{ital f} for {ital f}{approx_gt}{ital f}{sub {xi}}. Here {ital f}{sub {xi}}{proportional_to}{xi}{sup {minus}{ital z}}, where {xi} is the correlation length and {ital z} is the dynamic exponent. Moreover, when all frequencies are scaled by {ital f}{sub {xi}}, data for different temperatures and frequencies collapse onto a singlemore »« less

Charge Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in superconducting NbTiN films

Journal Article Mironov, Alexey Yu. ; Silevitch, Daniel M. ; Proslier, Thomas ; ... - Scientific Reports

Three decades after the prediction of charge-vortex duality in the critical vicinity of the two-dimensional superconductor-insulator transition (SIT), one of the fundamental implications of this duality-the charge Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition that should occur on the insulating side of the SIT-has remained unobserved. The dual picture of the process points to the existence of a superinsulating state endowed with zero conductance at finite temperature. Here, we report the observation of the charge BKT transition on the insulating side of the SIT in 10 nm thick NbTiN films, identified by the BKT critical behavior of the temperature and magnetic field dependent resistance,more »« less

Thickness dependence of the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in ultrathin YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7[minus][delta]] films

Journal Article Matsuda, Y ; Komiyama, S ; Onogi, T ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter; (United States)

The resistive transition is studied systematically on ultrathin YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7[minus][delta]] (YBCO) films with the number of layers [ital n] ranging from 1 to 10. The zero-resistance transition temperature, which is [ital T][sub [ital c]]=30 K for [ital n]=1, increases rapidly with increasing [ital n]. To interpret the results, topological excitation of vortices in thin films of a layered structure is discussed. A vortex-string pair,'' in which vortices and antivortices piercing all [ital n] layers are pairwise bounded, is shown to be an important topological excitation in thin films. Dissociation of the vortex-string pair gives rise to the Kosterlitz-Thoulessmore »« less
