WebThis transition is called Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition and still remains to be a topic of active research. The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) theory associates this phase transition with the emergence of a topological order, resulting from the pairing of vortices with opposite circulations. P.Raychaudhuri, J.
