Search for supersolidity in solid 4He using multiple-mode torsional oscillators.
In 2004, Kim and Chan (KC) reported a decrease in the period of torsional oscillators (TO) containing samples of solid (4)He, as the temperature was lowered below 0.2 K [Kim E, Chan MHW (2004) Science 305(5692):1941-1944]. These unexpected results constituted the first experimental evidence that the long-predicted supersolid state of solid (4)He may exist in nature. The KC results were quickly ...
متن کاملFate of vacancy-induced supersolidity in 4He.
The supersolid state of matter, exhibiting nondissipative flow in solids, has been elusive for 35 years. The recent discovery of a nonclassical moment of inertia in solid 4He by Kim and Chan provided the first experimental evidence, although the interpretation in terms of supersolidity of the ideal crystal phase remains a subject to debate. Using quantum Monte Carlo methods we investigate the l...
متن کاملTorsional oscillator and synchrotron X-Ray experiments on solid 4He in aerogel.
X-ray diffraction experiments show that solid 4He grown in aerogel is highly polycrystalline, with an hcp crystal structure (as in bulk) and a crystallite size of approximately 100 nm. In contrast to the expectation that the highly disordered solid will have a large supersolid fraction, torsional oscillator measurements show a behavior that is strikingly similar to high purity crystals grown fr...
متن کاملSupersolidity and the Thermodynamics of Solid Helium
The specific heat of solid helium in the temperature range below about 1.2K has been found to contain a term varying as T 7, in addition to the usual T 3 contribution always found in a crystalline dielectric solid. It has been proposed by Anderson, Brinkman and Huse, (Science 310, 1164 (2005)) that the existence of this T 7 term supports their theory of supersolidity. However, in this paper we ...
متن کاملthe search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame
this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
