Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 097004 (2004) [4 pages]Critical Dynamics of Superconductors in the Charged Regime
Courtney Lannert1, Smitha Vishveshwara2, and Matthew P. A. Fisher3 Received 25 August 2003; published 5 March 2004 We investigate the finite temperature critical dynamics of three-dimensional superconductors in the charged regime, described by a transverse gauge field coupling to the superconducting order parameter. Assuming relaxational dynamics for both the order parameter and the gauge fields, within a dynamical renormalization group scheme, we find a new dynamic universality class characterized by a finite fixed point ratio between the transport coefficients associated with the order parameter and gauge fields, respectively. We find signatures of this universality class in various measurable physical quantities, and in the existence of a universal amplitude ratio formed by a combination of physical quantities. ©2004 The American Physical Society
