Biot-Savart correlations in anisotropic superconductors

ORAL

Abstract

We study the normal-superconducting phase transition of layered type II superconductors in the limit of very weak Josephson coupling. By extending previous renormalization group treatments we investigate the importance of interlayer Biot-Savart interactions for three dimensional correlations near the transition and the recent weak-field magnetization experiments in BSSCO.
