In normal metal/heavy fermion superconductor proximity effect studies, it was realized that the large mismatch of effective mass at the interface leads to huge suppression of transmission of electron probability currents [Fenton, 1985].

The power spectral density of the resistance fluctuations was seen to deviate from 1/f as transition temperature is approached. {\displaystyle x_{i},i=1,\dots ,N} This is a set of notes recalling some of the most important results on the XY model from the ground up. We find that at the vortex core, where the superconducting gap is suppressed, magnetic ordering can occur locally (see e.g. (Nature Physics 7, 849 (2011)) in terms of Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.
