This is because the expected ordered phase of the system is destroyed by transverse fluctuations, i.e. WebWe have studied resistance fluctuations in two different types of two-dimensional superconductors near to the Bcrczinskii-Kostcrlitz-Thoulcss (BKT) transition. In the XY model in two dimensions, a second-order phase transition is not seen.

Furthermore, we study the influence of a nearby magnetic quantum critical point on the vortex system, and find that the vortex core energy can be significantly reduced due to magnetic fluctuations.

P.Ziemann, It is a transition from bound vortex-antivortex pairs at low temperatures to unpaired vortices and anti-vortices at some critical temperature. We have also shown that magnetic fluctuations modify the conventional BKT discussion since they reduce the vortex core energy, and thus quantum criticality may strongly influence the phase diagram of the vortex system.
