Topological Defects and the Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of Symmetry Breaking Phase Transitions [E-Book] / edited by Yuriy M. Bunkov, Henri Godfrin.
Topological defects formed at symmetry-breaking phase transitions play an important role in many different fields of physics. They appear in many condensed-matter systems at low temperature; examples include vortices in superfluid helium-4, a rich variety of defects in helium-3, quantized mag netic...
