Universal fingerprint of topological defect cores

Zi-Qiang Zhao, Nayun Jia, Zhang-Yu Nie +3

Topological defects are ubiquitous in physics, arising from condensed matter physics to the early universe. Although there exist many universal scaling laws for correlations betwee…

Phase separation seeded by Z2 and U(1) topological defects from holography

Zi-Qiang Zhao, Zhang-Yu Nie, Jing-Fei Zhang +1

We study the interaction between spontaneous symmetry breaking and phase separation dynamics in holography. Using a double-quench protocol, the system first rapidly crosses the cri…

Nonequilibrium crossover in the supercritical region from quench dynamics

Zi-Qiang Zhao, Zhang-Yu Nie, Jing-Fei Zhang +1

Distinguishing different subphases in the supercritical region is an important issue in statistical physics and condensed matter physics. Traditional approaches rely mainly on stat…

Interior geometry of black holes as a probe of first-order phase transition

Zi-Qiang Zhao, Zhang-Yu Nie, Shao-Wen Wei +2

Traditional diagnostics of black hole phase transitions rely on thermodynamic quantities defined at the event horizon or asymptotic boundary. Here, we demonstrate that the near-sin…

Various phase transitions in a holographic p-wave superfluid model with nonlinear terms

Yue-Peng Wang, Zi-Qiang Zhao, Hui Zeng +1

This study investigates various phase transitions, including those of 2nd, 1st, and 0th order, in a holographic p-wave superfluid model incorporating 4th- and 6th-order nonlinear t…

Interior structure of black holes with nonlinear terms

Zi-Qiang Zhao, Zhang-Yu Nie, Xing-Kun Zhang +3

We investigate the oscillation of the Kasner exponent near critical point of the hairy black holes dual to holographic superfluid and reveal a clear inverse periodicity $f(T_…

Phase transitions in scalarized topological AdS black holes

Zi-Qiang Zhao, Zhang-Yu Nie, Shao-Wen Wei +2

We investigate the behavior of black hole scalarization induced by a charged scalar field in the extended phase space of the asymptotic AdS spacetime with three distinct horizon to…

Gaussian curvature and Lyapunov exponent as probes of black hole phase transitions

Shi-Hao Zhang, Zi-Qiang Zhao, Zi-Yuan Li +2

First-order phase transitions of black holes have been extensively studied within thermodynamic frameworks, yet the corresponding evolution of spacetime geometric properties remain…

Phase transitions in a holographic superfluid model with non-linear terms beyond the probe limit

Zi-Qiang Zhao, Zhang-Yu Nie, Jing-Fei Zhang +1

We study the holographic s-wave superfluid model with 4th and 6th power self-interaction terms and with considering the full back-reaction of the matter fields on…

Characterized behaviors of black hole thermodynamics in the supercritical region

Zi-Qiang Zhao, Zhang-Yu Nie, Jing-Fei Zhang +1

The comprehension of universal thermodynamic behaviors in the supercritical region is crucial for examining the characteristics of black hole systems under high temperature and pre…

Dynamical and thermodynamic crossovers in the supercritical region of a holographic superfluid model

Zi-Qiang Zhao, Zhang-Yu Nie, Jing-Fei Zhang +2

Many physical systems, including classical fluids, present in their phase diagram the competition between two phases that are separated by a line of first-order phase transitions w…

Dynamical evolution of spinodal decomposition in holographic superfluids

Xin Zhao, Zi-Qiang Zhao, Zhang-Yu Nie +3

We study the nonlinear dynamical evolution of spinodal decomposition in a first-order superfluid phase transition using a simple holographic model in the probe limit. We first conf…
