G.Saraswat, WebThe phase transition of the systems in the universality class of the two- dimensional (2D) X-Y model, known as the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii (or some permutation of this) transition (Berezinskii 1971; Kosterlitz and Thouless 1973; Kosterlitz 1974), is a fascinating one. [Kogan, 2007; Benfatto etal., 2009]). Thus to determine whether a superconducting transition is of the BKT type, it is crucial to measure the penetration depth \lambdaitalic_, and to check whether such universal relation between \lambdaitalic_ and TBKTsubscriptBKTT_{\rm BKT}italic_T start_POSTSUBSCRIPT roman_BKT end_POSTSUBSCRIPT is satisfied. The long range magnetic interaction couples vortices in different planes, and aligns vortices of the same sign into stacks. 1 V.G. Kogan, {\displaystyle \gamma } -l_+? U|o68`j, / G.Seibold, A.J.
