Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 1551–1553 (1998)Density of Kinks Just after a Quench in an Underdamped SystemReceived 6 May 1998; published in the issue dated 24 August 1998 A quench in an underdamped one-dimensional φ4 model is studied by analytical methods. The density of kinks just after the transition is proportional to the square root of the rate of the quench for slow quenches. If the quench is shorter than the relaxation time, the density scales like the third root of the rate. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
