摘要
We propose a Lagrangian function, which combines Landau-Ginzburg term and Chern-Simons term, for describing the competition between disorder and superconductivity. To describe the normal-to-superconducting transition in the thin superconducting films, we apply Wilson's renormalization group methods into this Lagrangian function. Finally, we obtain a scaling law between critical temperature (T-c), film thickness (d), sheet resistance of the film at the normal state (R-s), and number density of the electrons at the normal state (N). Such a scaling law is in agreement with recent experimental investigations [Ivry, Y. et al., Physical Review B 90, 214515 (2014)]. Our finding may have potential benefits for improving transition temperature T-c.
