Presence of quantum diffusion in two dimensions: Universal resistance at the superconductor-insulator transition

Fisher, Matthew P. A., Grinstein, G., Girvin, S. M.·1990·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We argue that whenever the transition between the insulating and superconducting phases of a disordered two-dimensional Fermi system at zero temperature (T=0) is continuous, the system behaves like a normal metal right at the transition; i.e., the resistance has a finite, nonzero value at T=0. This value is universal---independent of all microscopic details. These features, consistent with recent measurements on disordered films, are hypothesized to apply to other 2D transitions at T=0, such as Anderson localization with spin-orbit coupling, and the quantum Hall effect.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
