Symmetry Breaking and Topological Defect Formation in Ion Coulomb Crystals

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Symmetry breaking phase transitions play an important role in nature. We create topological defects in ion Coulomb crystals and measure the scaling of kink creation to test the Kibble-Zurek mechanism.
