Thermal Casimir effect with general boundary conditions
J. M. Munoz-Castaneda, L. Santamaria-Sanz, M. Donaire +1
In this paper we study the system of a scalar quantum field confined between two plane, isotropic, and homogeneous parallel plates at thermal equilibrium. We represent the plates b…

Topological thermalization via vortex formation in ultra-fast quenches
Marcos Tello-Fraile, Andrés Cano, Manuel Donaire
We investigate the thermalization of a two-component scalar field across a second-order phase transition under extremely fast quenches. We find that vortices start developing at th…
