Kibble-Zurek Dynamics & Statistics of Topological Defects in Chiral Superfluid ${}^3$He Films

Noble Gluscevich, J. A. Sauls

In equilibrium, confined films of superfluid ${}^3$He-A have the chiral axis, $\hat{\ell }$, locked normal to the surface of the film. There are two degenerate ground states $\hat{\el…
