Topological phase transition in a quasi-two-dimensional Coulomb gas
Topological phase transition in a quasi-two-dimensional Coulomb gas
A system with an equal number of positive and negative charges confined in a box with a small but finite thickness is modeled as a function of temperature using mesoscale numerical simulations for various values of the charges. The Coulomb interaction is used in its three-dimensional form, U(r)∼1/r. A topological …
