Boundary effects on the scaling of the superfluid density

Abstract

We study numerically the influence of the substrate (boundary conditions) on the finite--size scaling properties of the superfluid density s in superfluid films of thickness H within the XY model employing the Monte Carlo method. Our results suggest that the jump s H/Tc at the Kosterlitz--Thouless transition temperature Tc depends on the boundary conditions.
