The effect of a magnetic field on fourth sound in 3He

The effect of a magnetic field on fourth sound in 3He The influence of a magnetic field on the propagation of fourth sound in superfluid 3He is studied. The field and temperature dependences of the average superfluid density \-ϱ s /ϱ and fourth sound Q are measured. The field dependence of \-ϱ s / ϱ is very different in a porous medium than predicted by Ginzburg-Landau theory applied to bulk liquid. In particular, a magnetic suppression of \-ϱ s /ϱ is observed in the temperature and pressure ranges corresponding to the A phase in bulk liquid. There is strong evidence of a magnetic suppression of T c itself. The measured \-ϱ s /ϱ has a slight history dependence in a magnetic field, but none in zero field. The fourth-sound Q values are compared to the theoretical work of Smith, Jensen, and Wolfle. Quantitative confirmation of their work is problematic. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Low Temperature Physics Springer Journals

Abstract

The influence of a magnetic field on the propagation of fourth sound in superfluid 3He is studied. The field and temperature dependences of the average superfluid density \-ϱ s /ϱ and fourth sound Q are measured. The field dependence of \-ϱ s / ϱ is very different in a porous medium than predicted by Ginzburg-Landau theory applied to bulk liquid. In particular, a magnetic suppression of \-ϱ s /ϱ is observed in the temperature and pressure ranges corresponding to the A phase in bulk liquid. There is strong evidence of a magnetic suppression of T c itself. The measured \-ϱ s /ϱ has a slight history dependence in a magnetic field, but none in zero field. The fourth-sound Q values are compared to the theoretical work of Smith, Jensen, and Wolfle. Quantitative confirmation of their work is problematic.
