Poster Presentation
The Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) describes the non-equilibrium dynamics and topological defect formation in systems undergoing second-order phase transitions. KZM has found applications in fields such as cosmology and condensed matter physics. KZM is generally applicable only to second-order phase transitions. However, here we extend the applicability of KZM to first-order phase transitions by combining it with nucleation theory.
