    Abstract

    The validity of the Kibble-Zurek picture for the creation of defects in the annealing of the Swift-Hohenberg (SH) equation was confirmed. Specifically, a length scale ξ∼Γdef-1 directly related to the density of defects, was identified. As a result, it was found that it scales with the sweep rate as ξ∼μ-1/4.
