Kibble Zurek mechanism in rapidly quenched phase transition dynamics
Abstract
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 critical quench rate above it the KZM scaling begins to appear. Smaller than , the defect density is a constant independent of the quench rate but depends on the final temperature as , the freeze out time admits the scaling law where is the spatial dimension, is the dimensionless reduced temperature, is the sample size, and are spatial and dynamical critical exponents. Quench from , the critical rate is determined by the final temperature as . All the scaling laws are verified in a rapidly quenched superconducting ring via the AdS/CFT correspondence.
