Activating critical exponent spectra with a slow drive

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: This paper shows that the slow drive that triggers the Kibble-Zurek mechanism can be used to activate not only the leading critical exponents of the underlying equilibrium problem, but the full critical exponent spectrum. This uncovers a new aspect of the Kibble-Zurek phenomenology, where the underlying equilibrium critical physics provides multiple universal scaling regimes.
