    Superflow-Stabilized Nonlinear NMR in Rotating 3He-B

    Full text link
    Nonlinear spin precession has been observed in 3He-B in large counterflow of the normal and superfluid fractions. The new precessing state is stabilized at high rf excitation level and displays frequency-locked precession over a large range of frequency shifts, with the magnetization at its equilibrium value. Comparison to analytical and numerical calculation indicates that in this state the orbital angular momentum L of the Cooper pairs is oriented transverse to the external magnetic field in a ``non-Leggett'' configuration with broken spin-orbit coupling. The resonance shift depends on the tipping angle theta of the magnetization as omega - omega_L = (Omega_B^2 / 2 omega_L)(cos(theta) - 1/5). The phase diagram of the precessing modes with arbitrary orientation of L is constructed.Comment: Revtex file, 5 pages, 4 figures, version submitted to Phys. Rev. Let

    Anapole moment of an exotic nucleus

    We demonstrate that there is no appreciable enhancement of the anapole moment of 11^{11}Be. The effect of small energy intervals is compensated for by a small overlap of the halo neutron wave function with core.Comment: 5 pages, LaTe

    Schiff moment of the Mercury nucleus and the proton dipole moment

    Full text link
    We calculated the contribution of internal nucleon electric dipole moments to the Schiff moment of 199^{199}Hg. The contribution of the proton electric dipole moment was obtained via core polarization effects that were treated in the framework of random phase approximation with effective residual forces. We derived a new upper bound ∣dp∣<5.4×10−24e⋅|d_p|< 5.4\times 10^{-24} e\cdotcm of the proton electric dipole moment.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, RevTex

    Quantum conductivity corrections in two dimensional long-range disordered systems with strong spin-orbit splitting of electron spectrum

    Full text link
    We study quantum corrections to conductivity in a 2D system with a smooth random potential and strong spin-orbit splitting of the spectrum. We show that the interference correction is positive and down to the very low temperature can exceed the negative correction related to electron-electron interactions. We discuss this result in the context of the problem of the metal-insulator transition in Si-MOSFET structures.Comment: 8 pages, no figure

    Random anisotropy disorder in superfluid 3He-A in aerogel

    Full text link
    The anisotropic superfluid 3He-A in aerogel provides an interesting example of a system with continuous symmetry in the presence of random anisotropy disorder. Recent NMR experiments allow us to discuss two regimes of the orientational disorder, which have different NMR properties. One of them, the (s)-state, is identified as the pure Larkin-Imry-Ma state. The structure of another state, the (f)-state, is not very clear: probably it is the Larkin-Imry-Ma state contaminated by the network of the topological defects pinned by aerogel.Comment: JETP Lett. style, 6 pages, no figures, discussion extended, references added, version to be published in JETP Letter
