Sweeping through the critical region

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

We present a detailed theoretical analysis of passing the critical region of a second order phase transition with finite speed of change of the control parameter. This analysis is performed both for weak and strong external fields and for an arbitrary dimension of the medium.
