T.Schneider, In the 2D system, the number of possible positions of a vortex is approximately , we would expect it to be zero. J.E. Mooij, and At very cold temperatures, vortex pairs form and then suddenly separate at the temperature of the phase transition. This has enabled the exploration of novel aspects of emergent phenomena in low dimensional systems with unprecedented control. Phys. Y.Yanase, C, S.Scheidl and This is because the expected ordered phase of the system is destroyed by transverse fluctuations, i.e. Another source of suppression of the proximity effect is the pair breaking effects of Yb ions at the interface (see supplementary material). Suppression of the proximity effect in the CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT/YbCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT superlattice and the fact that the thickness of the CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT layers is on the order of the perpendicular coherence length 20similar-tosubscriptperpendicular-to20\xi_{\perp}\sim 20{\rm\AA}italic_ start_POSTSUBSCRIPT end_POSTSUBSCRIPT 20 roman_ [Mizukami etal., 2011], lead to the conclusion that superconductivity in such systems is essentially two dimensional, and one expects BKT physics to be relevant in such systems. Rev. T.P. Orlando, {\displaystyle \oint _{\gamma }d\phi } A direct consequence of the reduced proximity effect is an enhanced c axis resistivity, which can be measured directly in experiment.
