Phys. Rev. B 60, 4070–4073 (1999)Phase transition in the two-dimensional gauge glassReceived 26 April 1999; published in the issue dated 1 August 1999 The two-dimensional XY gauge glass, which describes disordered superconducting grains in strong magnetic fields, is investigated, with regard to the possibility of a glass transition. We compute the glass susceptibility and the correlation function of the system via extensive numerical simulations and perform the finite-size scaling analysis. This gives strong evidence for a finite-temperature transition of a peculiar type. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
