Abstract
The consequences of a vortex unbinding picture of two-dimensional superconductivity are worked out. Although there is no true finite-temperature phase transition, dirty superconducting films should display anomalous behavior below the BCS transition temperature and above an effective Kosterlitz-Thouless vortex unbinding temperature. In particular, both the conductivity and fluctuation diamagnetism behave like ξ + 2 in this regime, where ξ+ is the correlation length calculated by Kosterlitz, ξ+-ξ c exp (B/T − T c)1/2. We estimate ξc, B, and the vortex unbinding temperature, and determine the nonlinear resistivity below T c. A recent theory of vortex dynamics, together with a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory, lead to a determination of the frequency-dependent conductivity.

Nernst effect in high-Tc superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a series of measurements to high fields $H$ which provide strong evidence for this phase-disordering scenario, and support the scenario that superfluidity vanishes because long-range phase coherence is destroyed by thermally-created vortices (in zero field), and that the pair condensate extends high into the pseudogap state in the underdoped regime.

Ordering, metastability and phase transitions in two-dimensional systems

TL;DR: In this article, a new definition of order called topological order is proposed for two-dimensional systems in which no long-range order of the conventional type exists, and the possibility of a phase transition characterized by a change in the response of the system to an external perturbation is discussed in the context of a mean field type of approximation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the critical properties of the xy model with nearest-neighbour interactions on a two-dimensional square lattice were studied by a renormalization group technique, and the correlation length is found to diverge faster than any power of the deviation from the critical temperature.
