In parallel with Kibble's description of the onset of phase transitions in the early Universe, Zurek has provided a simple picture for the onset of phase transitions in condensed matter systems, supported by agreement with experiments in He-3 and superconductors. We show how experiments with annular Josephson tunnel junctions can, and do, provide further support for this scenario.

Abstract

In parallel with Kibble's description of the onset of phase transitions in the early Universe, Zurek has provided a simple picture for the onset of phase transitions in condensed matter systems, supported by agreement with experiments in He-3 and superconductors. We show how experiments with annular Josephson tunnel junctions can, and do, provide further support for this scenario.
