別列津斯基 - 科斯特利茨 - 索利斯相變（英語：Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition，又稱 BKT 相變；科斯特利茨 - 索利斯相變及 KT 相變）是二維 XY 模型中的一種相變。它是指超過某一臨界溫度時，系統中的渦旋 - 反渦旋束縛態融化成為不成對的渦旋和反渦旋的相變。這種相變是以凝聚態物理學家瓦季姆・別列津斯基、約翰・科斯特利茨和戴維・索利斯命名的。BKT 相變在凝聚態物理學中多個可用 XY 模型作近似的系統中出現，例如約瑟夫森接面陣列和薄無序超導顆粒膜。這個詞最近還被研究二維超導絕緣體相變的社群應用，用於把庫珀對釘在絕緣區，能夠這樣做是因為超導中的這一相變與 BKT 相變有相似的地方。

對這種相變的研究使得索利斯和科斯特利茨於 2016 年與鄧肯・霍爾丹一同獲授諾貝爾物理學獎。



XY 模型

XY 模型的哈密頓是

$$
H=-J\sum _{\langle i,j\rangle }\mathbf {S} _{i}\cdot \mathbf {S} _{j}=-J\sum _{\langle i,j\rangle }\cos(\theta _{i}-\theta _{j})
$$

$$
{\boldsymbol {S}}_{i}=(\cos {\theta _{i}},\sin {\theta _{i}})
$$

格林函數（傳播子）是

$$
G({\boldsymbol {r}}_{i}-{\boldsymbol {r}}_{j})=\langle {\boldsymbol {S}}_{i}\cdot {\boldsymbol {S}}_{j}\rangle =\langle \cos(\theta _{i}-\theta _{j})\rangle =\langle e^{i(\theta _{i}-\theta _{j})}\rangle
$$

$$
G({\boldsymbol {r}}_{i}-{\boldsymbol {r}}_{j})\sim \exp \left(-r\log {\frac {2}{\beta J}}\right)
$$

$$
G({\boldsymbol {r}}_{i}-{\boldsymbol {r}}_{j})\sim \left({\frac {1}{r}}\right)^{1/2\pi \beta J}
$$



動力學

単獨渦旋的能量

$$
E\sim {\frac {J}{2}}\int {\mathrm {d} }^{2}r(\nabla \theta )^{2}={\frac {J}{2}}\int _{a}^{L}d^{2}r2\pi {\mathrm {d} }r{\frac {1}{r^{2}}}=\pi J\log \left({\frac {L}{a}}\right)
$$

$$
S=\log \left({\frac {L}{a}}\right)^{2}
$$

$$
F=E-TS=(\pi J-2T)\log \left({\frac {L}{a}}\right)
$$

$$
T_{BKT}={\frac {\pi J}{2}}
$$

一對渦旋的能量

$$
E\sim -\pi J\sum _{i\neq j}n_{i}n_{j}\log \left|{\frac {{\boldsymbol {r}}_{i}-{\boldsymbol {r}}_{j}}{a}}\right|+\pi J\left(\sum _{i}n_{i}\right)^{2}\log \left({\frac {L}{a}}\right)
$$

$$
E\sim 2\pi J\log \left|{\frac {{\boldsymbol {r}}_{i}-{\boldsymbol {r}}_{j}}{a}}\right|
$$
