This study analyzes line defects using a two-component vector order parameter, revealing conditions for their creation and destruction. It demonstrates that defect generation and annihilation involve infinite velocities, derived solely from topological properties.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Topological Defects

Background:

  • Line defects are crucial in understanding material properties.
  • Topological charges define defect behavior.
  • Previous studies lacked a comprehensive framework for defect dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive the line density of line defects using a two-component vector order parameter.
  • To investigate the spatial structure and bifurcation of line defects in 3D.
  • To establish conditions for defect generation, annihilation, collision, splitting, and merging.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the definition of topological charges of line defects.
  • Analyzing the topological properties of the two-component vector order parameter.
  • Deriving branch conditions based on the order parameter's intrinsic properties.

Main Results:

  • The line density of line defects was successfully obtained.
  • Spatial structures and bifurcations of defects in 3D were elucidated.
  • Branch conditions for various defect interactions were determined.
  • Infinite velocities were found during defect generation and annihilation.

Conclusions:

  • The two-component vector order parameter provides a robust framework for defect analysis.
  • Topological properties alone dictate fundamental defect dynamics, including infinite velocities during phase transitions.
  • This work offers insights into defect behavior relevant to condensed matter systems.
