Domain Formation: Decided Before, or After the Transition?
Nuno D. Antunes, Pedro Gandra, Ray J. Rivers
There is increasing evidence that causality provides useful bounds in determining the domain structure after a continuous transition. In devising their scaling laws for domain size…
Using Annular Josephson Tunnel Junctions to Monitor Causal Horizon
R. Monaco, R. J. Rivers
If systems change as fast as possible as they pass through a phase transition then the initial domain structure is constrained by causality. We shall show how we can trace these ca…
Zurek-Kibble Mechanism for the Spontaneous Vortex Formation in Josephson Tunnel Junctions: New Theory and Experiment
R. Monaco, J. Mygind, M. Aaroe +2
New scaling behavior has been both predicted and observed in the spontaneous production of fluxons in quenched annular Josephson tunnel junctions as a function o…
The Effects of Multiplicative Noise in Relativistic Phase Transitions
Nuno D. Antunes, Pedro Gandra, Ray J. Rivers
Effective stochastic equations for the continuous transitions of relativistic quantum fields inevitably contain multiplicative noise. We examine the effect of such noise in a numer…
