In this Letter we will show that, in the presence of a properly modulated Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction, a $U(1)$ vortex-antivortex lattice appears at low temperatures for a wide range of the DM interaction. Even more, in the region dominated by the exchange interaction, a standard BKT transition occurs. In the opposite regime, the one dominated by the DM interaction, a kind of inverse BKT transition (iBKT) takes place. As temperature rises, the vortex-antivortex lattice starts melting by annihilation of pairs of vortex-antivortex, in a sort of inverse BKT transition.

We have considered two classical lattice-gas models, consisting of particles that carry multicomponent magnetic momenta, and associated with a two-dimensional square lattices; each site can host one particle at most, thus implicitly allowing for hard-core repulsion; the pair interaction, restricted to nearest neighbors, is ferromagnetic and involves only two components. The case of zero chemical potential has been investigated by Grand--Canonical Monte Carlo simulations; the fluctuating occupation numbers now give rise to additional fluid-like observables in comparison with the usual saturated--lattice situation; these were investigated and their possible influence on the critical behaviour was discussed. Our results show that the present model supports a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition with a transition temperature lower than that of the saturated lattice counterpart due to the presence of ``vacancies; comparisons were also made with similar models studied in the literature.
The non-equilibrium annealing of structural disorder in a two-dimensional XY-model leads to coarsening of defects clusters in a cores of spin vortices. We revealed the effect of inertial growth of the clusters in coarsening dynamic regime. The calculated transverse stiffness $rho(p,T)$ of the system in the high-temperature phase $T>T_{rm BKT}(p)$ becomes negative and has described by a power low $rho(p,T) sim T^{-kappa}$ with temperature independent exponent $kappa=kappa(p)$. The dynamical scaling lead to the dynamic dependence of the correlation length $xi sim (t / ln^{q} (t/t_{0}))^{1/z}$ which can be explained by a shift of spin vortices friction constant $gamma$ induced by annealed disorder.
The superfluid to normal fluid transition of dipolar bosons in two dimensions is studied throughout the whole density range using path integral Monte Carlo simulations and summarized in the phase diagram. While at low densities, we find good agreement with the universal results depending only on the scattering length $a_s$, at moderate and high densities, the transition temperature is strongly affected by interactions and the elementary excitation spectrum. The results are expected to be of relevance to dipolar atomic and molecular systems and indirect excitons in quantum wells.
The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) mechanism, building upon proliferation of topological defects in 2D systems, is the first example of phase transition beyond the Landau-Ginzburg paradigm of symmetry breaking. Such a topological phase transition has long been sought yet undiscovered directly in magnetic materials. Here, we pin down two transitions that bound a BKT phase in an ideal 2D frustrated magnet TmMgGaO$_4$, via nuclear magnetic resonance under in-plane magnetic fields, which do not disturb the low-energy electronic states and allow BKT fluctuations to be detected sensitively. Moreover, by applying out-of-plane fields, we find a critical scaling behaviour of the magnetic susceptibility expected for the BKT transition. The experimental findings can be explained by quantum Monte Carlo simulations applied on an accurate triangular-lattice Ising model of the compound which hosts a BKT phase. These results provide a concrete example for the BKT phase and offer an ideal platform for future investigations on the BKT physics in magnetic materials.
We study the phase diagram and critical behavior of a two-dimensional lattice SO($N_c$) gauge theory ($N_c ge 3$) with two scalar flavors, obtained by partially gauging a maximally O($2N_c$) symmetric scalar model. The model is invariant under local SO($N_c$) and global O(2) transformations. We show that, for any $N_c ge 3$, it undergoes finite-temperature Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transitions, associated with the global Abelian O(2) symmetry. The transition separates a high-temperature disordered phase from a low-temperature spin-wave phase where correlations decay algebraically (quasi-long range order). The critical properties at the finite-temperature BKT transition and in the low-temperature spin-wave phase are determined by means of a finite-size scaling analysis of Monte Carlo data.
