BKT Phase Transitions in Magnetic Systems: Formations of Narrow Stripes and Vortex–Antivortex Pairs in a Quasi-2D Ferromagnet K₂CuF₄

Cryogenic Lorentz transmission electron microscopy directly shows that vortex and antivortex pairs emerge in a quasi-two-dimensional ferromagnet K₂CuF₄. This work may reveal the nature of Berezinskii, Kosterlitz, and Thouless phase transition in a magnetic system.
