@article{ISI:000253336900068, abstract = {We show that for a d-dimensional model in which a quench with a rate tau(-1) takes the system across a (d-m)-dimensional critical surface, the defect density scales as n similar to 1/tau(m nu/(z nu+1)), where nu and z are the correlation length and dynamical critical exponents characterizing the critical surface. We explicitly demonstrate that the Kitaev model provides an example of such a scaling with d=2 and m=nu=z=1. We also provide the first example of an exact calculation of some multispin correlation functions for a two-dimensional model that can be used to determine the correlation between the defects. We suggest possible experiments to test our theory.}, article-number = {077204}, author = {Sengupta, K. and Sen, Diptiman and Mondal, Shreyoshi}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.077204}, eissn = {1079-7114}, issn = {0031-9007}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS}, month = {FEB 22}, number = {7}, times-cited = {124}, title = {Exact results for quench dynamics and defect production in a two-dimensional model}, unique-id = {ISI:000253336900068}, volume = {100}, year = {2008} }
