Proximity Effect between a Dirty Fermi Liquid and Superfluid 3He

The Spin Dynamics of an Anisotropic Fermi Superfluid (3He?)

In this paper we develop a general theory of the spin dynamics of anisotropic Fermi superfluids of the generalized BCS type, under conditions which should be realistic for any such phase of liquid 3He occurring below 3 mK. No restrictions are placed on the nature of the pairing configuration. The system is described in terms of the total spin vector S, and a vector T(n) which describes the ampl...

Giant Proximity Effect and Coupling in Superfluid

Previous measurements of the specific heat of helium-4 (4He) confined in all three spatial dimensions suggested a coupling between neighbor ing confinements through the tiny channels used to fill them [1]. Measurements of the superfluid fraction in the filling channels also suggested an enhancement attributed to their proximity to the larger regions of superfluid [1]. Recent measurements of con...

ANALOGIES BETWEEN NUCLEAR SYSTEMS AND LIQUID 3He

Several azalogies between nuclear systems and liquid 31ie are presented and discussed. The usefulness of the mean field approach in describing several static and dynamic properties of quantum liquids is emphasized. Using a Skyrme force to account for the interaction in liquid 3 ~ e we give predictions for the equation of state in bulk matter, fcr relevant surface properties (surface profile, cl...

RECENT EXPERIMENTS IN SUPERFLUID 3He

Vortices in rotating superfluid 3He.

In this review we first present an introduction to 3He and to the ROTA collaboration under which most of the knowledge on vortices in superfluid 3He has been obtained. In the physics part, we start from the exceptional properties of helium at millikelvin temperatures. The dilemma of rotating superfluids is presented. In 4He and in 3He-B the problem is solved by nucleating an array of singular v...
