"Generate an image representing the Kibble-Zurek mechanism, a physical phenomenon describing the formation of topological defects during phase transitions, particularly in the context of condensed matter physics and cosmology. The image should illustrate the process of defect formation, such as vortices or domain walls, in a system undergoing a second-order phase transition, like superfluid helium or a Bose-Einstein condensate. Incorporate visual elements that convey critical slowing down and symmetry breaking, and depict the relationship between the quench rate and the density of defects. Use a stylized, scientific visualization style, with colors and patterns that evoke a sense of phase transitions and topological defects."
