Abstract

We studied the dynamics of the order parameter and the winding numbers $W$ formation of a quenched normal-to-superconductor state phase transition in a finite size holographic superconducting ring. There is a critical circumference $\tilde{C}$ below it no winding number will be formed, then $\tilde{C}$ can be treated as the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) correlation length $\xi$ which is proportional to the fourth root of its quench rate $\tau_Q$, which is also the average size of independent pieces formed after a quench. When the circumference $C \geq 10 \xi$, the key KZM scaling between the average value of absolute winding number and the quench rate $\langle|W|\rangle \propto \tau_Q^{-1/8}$ is observed. At smaller sizes, the universal scaling will be modified, there are two regions. The middle size $5\xi<br />Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures
