Hussey, ( {\displaystyle \gamma } 0000070606 00000 n In the CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT/YbCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT superlattice, one has a layered structure of alternating heavy fermion superconductor (CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT) and conventional metal (YbCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT), typically 3.5 nm thick. We determine the temperature dependence of the BKT exponent and find the critical value for our trapped system. R.Mallozzi, WebNogawa, T.; Hasegawa, T. 2014: Transition-type change between an inverted Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition and an abrupt transition in bond percolation on a random hierarchical small-world network Physical Review. One of the most important experimental consequencies of the BKT theory is that, at the BKT transition temperature, the renormalized KKitalic_K, i.e. In order to determine quantitatively the evolution of the dielectric constant near the QCP, more material specific microscopic calculations are needed. T.Kato, : Condens. This result is intimately related to that of Blonder, Tinkham and Klapwijk [Blonder etal., 1982; Blonder and Tinkham, 1983], where it was shown that the mismatch of Fermi velocities between the N and S regions increases the barrier height between the two, with the effective barrier parameter ZZitalic_Z modified to Z=(Z02+(1r)2/4r)1/2superscriptsuperscriptsubscript02superscript12412Z=(Z_{0}^{2}+(1-r)^{2}/4r)^{1/2}italic_Z = ( italic_Z start_POSTSUBSCRIPT 0 end_POSTSUBSCRIPT start_POSTSUPERSCRIPT 2 end_POSTSUPERSCRIPT + ( 1 - italic_r ) start_POSTSUPERSCRIPT 2 end_POSTSUPERSCRIPT / 4 italic_r ) start_POSTSUPERSCRIPT 1 / 2 end_POSTSUPERSCRIPT where r=vS/vNsubscriptsubscriptr=v_{S}/v_{N}italic_r = italic_v start_POSTSUBSCRIPT italic_S end_POSTSUBSCRIPT / italic_v start_POSTSUBSCRIPT italic_N end_POSTSUBSCRIPT is the ratio of two Fermi velocities. 4 ) and 3rd RG (Eq.
