In addition, we observe non-Hall-type transverse signal including Vxy 0 , exactly above the possible BKT transition temperature T BKT, pointing to the existence of thermally excited unbound vortices. , it has no physical consequences. W A direct consequence of the reduced proximity effect is an enhanced c axis resistivity, which can be measured directly in experiment. Phys.

They are meant for a junior researcher wanting to get accustomed to the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition in the context of the 2D classical XY model. When the thickness of CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT layers become smaller than (T)\xi(T)italic_ ( italic_T ), the depressed areas will start to overlap, and the superconducting gap in the CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT layers will be suppressed.

Another source of suppression of the proximity effect is the pair breaking effects of Yb ions at the interface (see supplementary material). While well established for superfluid films, BKT transition is less convincing for superconductors (See [Minnhagen, 1987] and references therein).
