dc.descriptionModels undergoing a phase transition to an absorbing state weakly broken by the addition of a very low spontaneous nucleation rate are shown to exhibit hysteresis loops whose width $Δλ$ depends algebraically on the ramp rate $r$. Analytical arguments and numerical simulations show that $Δλ\sim r^κ$ with $κ= 1/(β'+1)$, where $β'$ is the critical exponent governing the survival probability of a seed near threshold. These results explain similar hysteresis scaling observed before in liquid crystal convection experiments. This phenomenon is conjectured to occur in a variety of other experimental systems.
