Testing the Kibble-Zurek Scenario with Annular Josephson Tunnel Junctions
arXiv:cond-mat/0005145 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.85.3452
Abstract
In parallel with Kibble's description of the onset of phase transitions in the early universe, Zurek has provided a simple picture for the onset of phase transitions in condensed matter systems, strongly supported by agreement with experiments in He3. In this letter we show how experiments with annular Josephson tunnel Junctions can and do provide further support for this scenario.
Revised version with correct formula for the Swihart velocity. The results are qualitatively the same as with the previous version but differ quantitatively. 4 pages, RevTex
