Topological Defect Formation Beyond the Kibble-Zurek Mechanism in Crossover Transitions with Approximate Symmetries
Peng Yang, Chuan-Yin Xia, Sebastian Grieninger +2
The formation of topological defects during continuous second-order phase transitions is well described by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM). However, when the spontaneously broken…
Kibble-Zurek Mechanism and Beyond: Lessons from a Holographic Superfluid Disk
Chuan-Yin Xia, Hua-Bi Zeng, András Grabarits +1
The superfluid phase transition dynamics and associated spontaneous vortex formation with the crossing of the critical temperature in a disk geometry is studied in the framework of…
Universal breakdown of Kibble-Zurek scaling in fast quenches across a phase transition
Hua-Bi Zeng, Chuan-Yin Xia, Adolfo del Campo
The crossing of a continuous phase transition gives rise to the formation of topological defects described by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) in the limit of slow quenches. The KZ…
Kibble Zurek mechanism in rapidly quenched phase transition dynamics
Chuan-Yin Xia, Hua-Bi Zeng
We propose a theory to explain the experimental observed deviation from the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) scaling in rapidly quenched critical phase transition dynamics. There is a…
Universal Statistics of Vortices in a Newborn Holographic Superconductor: Beyond the Kibble-Zurek Mechanism
Adolfo del Campo, Fernando Javier Gómez-Ruiz, Zhi-Hong Li +3
Traversing a continuous phase transition at a finite rate leads to the breakdown of adiabatic dynamics and the formation of topological defects, as predicted by the celebrated Kibb…
