Lattice Thermal Conductivity of Solid Helium. II. Isotopic Mixtures

Lattice Thermal Conductivity of Solid Helium. II. Isotopic Mixtures We have analyzed the thermal-conductivity data of He 4 -rich isotopic mixtures of solid helium in the hcp phase and He 3 -rich mixtures in the bcc phase at the molar volume 20.2 cm 3 /mole measured by Bertman et al. It is found that the T 3 dependence of normal processes generally used in Callaway's model can explain the thermal-conductivity data in the temperature range 0.6 to 1.8°K. The concentration dependence of the lattice distortion scattering due to added isotopic impurity is seen to be the theoretically expected one, i.e., x ( 1 - x ) , and the stronger concentration dependence noticed by Bertman is not observed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Physical Review American Physical Society (APS)

Abstract

We have analyzed the thermal-conductivity data of He 4 -rich isotopic mixtures of solid helium in the hcp phase and He 3 -rich mixtures in the bcc phase at the molar volume 20.2 cm 3 /mole measured by Bertman et al. It is found that the T 3 dependence of normal processes generally used in Callaway's model can explain the thermal-conductivity data in the temperature range 0.6 to 1.8°K. The concentration dependence of the lattice distortion scattering due to added isotopic impurity is seen to be the theoretically expected one, i.e., x ( 1 - x ) , and the stronger concentration dependence noticed by Bertman is not observed.
