Dynamic scaling theory of the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii transition: ubiquitous finite size effects
Louis Colonna-Romano, Stephen W. Pierson, Mark Friesen
Abstract
A numerical study of the neutral two-dimensional (2D) lattice Coulomb gas is performed to examine dynamic scaling, finite size effects, and the dynamic critical exponent z of the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii transition. By studying large system sizes (L=100), we show z=2.0 0.2 using Fisher-Fisher-Huse (FFH) scaling. We also present evidence that the vortex correlation length is finite below the transition temperature, in contrast to conventional wisdom. Finally, we conclude that previous findings for a variety of experimental systems that z 5.6 using FFH scaling indicates that finite size effects are ubiquitous in 2D superconductors and Josephson Junction Arrays.
