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…

Holographic SU(3) color superconductivity at finite baryon chemical potential

Xin Zhao, Zhang-Yu Nie, Ya-Peng Hu

We present a holographic model of SU(3) color superconductivity (CSC) where a global color symmetry is spontaneously broken by a diquark condensate at finite baryon chemical potent…

Thermodynamic Supercriticality and Complex Phase Diagram for Charged AdS Black Holes in Trace Anomaly Gravity

Minyan Ou, Xiangdong Zhang, Zhang-Yu Nie

We extend the Lee-Yang phase transition framework to charged anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes in four-dimensional trace anomaly gravity. By treating the horizon radius as a complex…

Holographic s+p superconductors with nonlinear electrodynamics

Ru-Qing Chen, Hui Zeng, Zhang-Yu Nie

We investigate a holographic s+p superconductor model coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics in the probe limit. The equations of motion are solved numerically, and the condensates a…

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…
