Estimation of vortex density after superconducting film quench
T. W. B. Kibble, A. Rajantie
This paper addresses the problem of vortex formation during a rapid quench in a superconducting film. It builds on previous work showing that in a local gauge theory there are two…

Local gauge invariance and formation of topological defects
A. Rajantie
In superconductors, and in other systems with a local U(1) gauge invariance, there are two mechanisms that form topological defects in phase transitions. In addition to the standar…
