Abstract

The charged regime of the superconductor-metal transition was analyzed by applying a finite temperature critical dynamics. A transverse gage field coupling was applied to the superconducting order parameter. A new dynamic universality class characeterized by a finite fixed point ratio between the transport coefficients associated with the order parameter and gage fields was found by assuming relaxational dynamics for both the order parameter and gage fields within a renormalization group scheme. It was found that various features of the dynamic universality class of the charged superconductor appeared in measurable quantities.
