One of the most exciting areas to study BKT transition is 2D or layered 2D (quasi-two-dimensional) supercon-ducting systems. Quasi 2-dimensional superconductivity: First, we discuss why BKT theory is applicable to heavy fermion superlattices. This enables us to measure the phase correlation function, which changes from an algebraic to an exponential decay when the system crosses the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition.

T.Terashima, Since the separation of the different CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT layers is larger than the perpendicular coherence length, the interlayer Josephson coupling is weak, and can be ignored.
