Suppression of the proximity effect in the CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT/YbCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT superlattice and the fact that the thickness of the CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT layers is on the order of the perpendicular coherence length 20similar-tosubscriptperpendicular-to20\xi_{\perp}\sim 20{\rm\AA}italic_ start_POSTSUBSCRIPT end_POSTSUBSCRIPT 20 roman_ [Mizukami etal., 2011], lead to the conclusion that superconductivity in such systems is essentially two dimensional, and one expects BKT physics to be relevant in such systems. It is a transition from bound vortex-antivortex pairs at low temperatures to unpaired vortices and anti-vortices at some critical temperature. The additional parameter drives two BerezinskiiKosterlitzThouless (BKT) quantum transitions to superconducting and superinsulating phases, respectively. T.Schneider, The BerezinskiiKosterlitzThouless (BKT) transition [][] is very well understood in terms of its physical mechanism of vortexantivortex unbinding.The field-theoretical formulation of this two-dimensional (2D) problem of a U(1) symmetric order parameter gives a rigorous quantitative characterization of the transition into the critical Conditions and any applicable /Filter /FlateDecode n C.Kallin, Rev.

T.Shibauchi, WebThe Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition is a phase transition on a symmetric system (no easy axis for mangetic moments to align) in two dimensions. However, as we will argue below, the large mismatch of Fermi velocities across the interface changes the story completely and enables quasi 2D superconductivity in CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT thin layers.

At the interface, the Yb ions disorder (due to cross diffusion and displacements) and act as nonmagnetic impurities to locally suppress superconductivity in CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT layers [Bauer etal., 2011]. The two BKT correlation scales account for the emergent granularity observed around the transition. Lett. In a dense vortex matter, vortex-antivortex pairs may crystallize, and subsequent melting may lead to intermediate hexatic phase[Gabay and Kapitulnik, 1993; Zhang, 1993]. If >2, we find the usual SR phenomenology with a BKT phase transition. M.Gabay and 1 C, S.Scheidl and Europhys. 0000026475 00000 n ) Thus to determine whether a superconducting transition is of the BKT type, it is crucial to measure the penetration depth \lambdaitalic_, and to check whether such universal relation between \lambdaitalic_ and TBKTsubscriptBKTT_{\rm BKT}italic_T start_POSTSUBSCRIPT roman_BKT end_POSTSUBSCRIPT is satisfied. Though implications have been found in numerous thin superconducting films [Minnhagen, 1987; Fiory etal., 1988; Davis etal., 1990; Matsuda etal., 1993; Crane etal., 2007], highly anisotropic cuprates [Wen etal., 1998; Corson etal., 1999; Li etal., 2005], oxide interfaces [Reyren etal., 2007; Caviglia etal., 2008; Schneider etal., 2009], the results have remained inconclusive (see e.g. R For {\bm{H}}bold_italic_H in the zzitalic_z-direction, one can define =(x+iy)/2subscriptitalic-subscriptitalic-2\Phi=(\phi_{x}+i\phi_{y})/\sqrt{2}roman_ = ( italic_ start_POSTSUBSCRIPT italic_x end_POSTSUBSCRIPT + italic_i italic_ start_POSTSUBSCRIPT italic_y end_POSTSUBSCRIPT ) / square-root start_ARG 2 end_ARG. 3 Phys. .

It is therefore desirable to have a well-controlled, readily-tunable system to investigate the BKT physics. In order to determine quantitatively the evolution of the dielectric constant near the QCP, more material specific microscopic calculations are needed.
