Kibble-Zurek scenario and coarsening across nonequilibrium phase transitions in driven vortices and skyrmions

We investigate the topological defect populations for superconducting vortices and magnetic skyrmions on random pinning substrates under driving amplitudes that are swept at different rates or suddenly quenched. When the substrate pinning is sufficiently strong, the system exhibits a nonequilibrium...
