Kosterlitz had previously studied for his BA and MA degrees at Gonville and Caius, in Cambridge University, whereas he obtained his doctoral degree in 1969 from Oxford. We observe that the effective mass mismatch between the heavy fermion superconductor and the normal metal regions provides an effective barrier that enables quasi 2D superconductivity in such systems.

WebThe phase transition of the systems in the universality class of the two- dimensional (2D) X-Y model, known as the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii (or some permutation of this) transition (Berezinskii 1971; Kosterlitz and Thouless 1973; Kosterlitz 1974), is a fascinating one. Here, we prove that all the physics of every classical spin model is reproduced in the low-energy sector of certain universal models, with at most polynomial overhead.

In these systems, thermal generation of vortices produces an even number of vortices of opposite sign. The XY model is a two-dimensional vector spin model that possesses U(1) or circular symmetry.
