Shear viscosity of the A_1-phase of superfluid 3He
The scattering processes between the quasiparticles in spin- up superfluid
with the quasiparticles in spin-down normal fluid are added to the other
relevant scattering processes in the Boltzmann collision terms. The Boltzmann
equation has been solved exactly for temperatures just below T_c_1. The shear
viscosity component of the A_1- phase drops as C_1(1-T/T_c_1)^(1/2). The
numerical factor C_1 is in fairly good agreement with the experiments
Concentration Dependence of the Effective Mass of He-3 Atoms in He-3/He-4 Mixtures
Recent measurements by Yorozu et al. (S. Yorozu, H. Fukuyama, and H.
Ishimoto, Phys. Rev. B 48, 9660 (1993)) as well as by Simons and Mueller (R.
Simons and R. M. Mueller, Czhechoslowak Journal of Physics Suppl. 46, 201
(1976)) have determined the effective mass of He-3 atoms in a He-3/He-4 mixture
with great accuracy. We here report theoretical calculations for the dependence
of that effective mass on the He-3 concentration. Using correlated basis
functions perturbation theory to infinite order to compute effective
interactions in the appropriate channels, we obtain good agreement between
theory and experiment.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
Single Particle and Fermi Liquid Properties of He-3/--He-4 Mixtures: A Microscopic Analysis
We calculate microscopically the properties of the dilute He-3 component in a
He-3/--He-4 mixture. These depend on both, the dominant interaction between the
impurity atom and the background, and the Fermi liquid contribution due to the
interaction between the constituents of the He-3 component. We first calculate
the dynamic structure function of a He-3 impurity atom moving in He-3. From
that we obtain the excitation spectrum and the momentum dependent effective
mass. The pole strength of this excitation mode is strongly reduced from the
free particle value in agreement with experiments; part of the strength is
distributed over high frequency excitations. Above k > 1.7^{-1}$ the
motion of the impurity is damped due to the decay into a roton and a low energy
impurity mode. Next we determine the Fermi--Liquid interaction between He-4
atoms and calculate the pressure-- and concentration dependence of the
effective mass, magnetic susceptibility, and the He-3--He-3 scattering phase
shifts. The calculations are based on a dynamic theory that uses, as input,
effective interactions provided by the Fermi hypernetted--chain theory. The
relationship between both theories is discussed. Our theoretical effective
masses agree well with recent measurements by Yorozu et al. (Phys. Rev. B 48,
9660 (1993)) as well as those by R. Simons and R. M. Mueller (Czekoslowak
Journal of Physics Suppl. 46, 201 (1996)), but our analysis suggests a new
extrapolation to the zero-concentration limit. With that effective mass we also
find a good agreement with the measured Landau parameter F_0^a.Comment: 47 pages, 15 figure
Satisfaction with dental care among patients who receive invasive or non-invasive treatment for non-cavitated early dental caries: findings from one region of the National Dental PBRN
First-Sound Attenuation and Viscosity of Superfluid 3He-B
The attenuation of first sound in normal and superfluid 3He in a cylindrical resonator has been measured from 40 kHz to 300 kHz at 8 and 28 bars. In the B phase a decreasing viscosity down to the lowest temperature (0.5Tc) is observed. In the normal phase the viscosity agrees with previously reported values. The data analysis is based on a recent theory of sound propagation in superfluid 3He in a resonator
