Analysis of Strong-Coupling Parameters for Superfluid 3He
Superfluid He experiments show strong deviation from the weak-coupling
limit of the Ginzburg-Landau theory, and this discrepancy grows with increasing
pressure. Strong-coupling contributions to the quasiparticle interactions are
known to account for this effect and they are manifest in the five
-coefficients of the fourth order Ginzburg-Landau free energy terms. The
Ginzburg-Landau free energy also has a coefficient to include magnetic
field coupling to the order parameter. From NMR susceptibility experiments, we
find the deviation of from its weak-coupling value to be negligible at
all pressures. New results for the pressure dependence of four different
combinations of -coefficients, _{345}, _{12},
_{245}, and _{5} are calculated and comparison is made with
theory.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, 1 table. Manuscript prepared for QFS200
Ordering in the dilute weakly-anisotropic antiferromagnet Mn(0.35)Zn(0.65)F2
The highly diluted antiferromagnet Mn(0.35)Zn(0.65)F2 has been investigated
by neutron scattering in zero field. The Bragg peaks observed below the Neel
temperature TN (approximately 10.9 K) indicate stable antiferromagnetic
long-range ordering at low temperature. The critical behavior is governed by
random-exchange Ising model critical exponents (nu approximately 0.69 and gamma
approximately 1.31), as reported for Mn(x)Zn(1-x)F2 with higher x and for the
isostructural compound Fe(x)Zn(1-x)F2. However, in addition to the Bragg peaks,
unusual scattering behavior appears for |q|>0 below a glassy temperature Tg
approximately 7.0 K. The glassy region T<Tg corresponds to that of noticeable
frequency dependence in earlier zero-field ac susceptibility measurements on
this sample. These results indicate that long-range order coexists with
short-range nonequilibrium clusters in this highly diluted magnet.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
