A search for disordered (glassy) phase in solid 3He deformed in situ

A disordered (glassy) state has been searched in solid 3He deformed in the course of experiment employing precise measurements of pressure. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the crystal pressure measured at a constant volume shows that the main contribution to the pressure is made by the phonon subsystem, the influence of the disordered phase being very weak. Annealing of the deformed crystal does not affect this state. The results obtained differ greatly from the corresponding data for solid 4He measured in the region of supersolid effects where a pressure excessive in comparison to the phonon one was registered. The excess pressure had a quadratic dependence on temperature, which is typical of a disordered system. Absence of the excess pressure in solid 3He is unclear yet, some speculative interpretations are suggested.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure

Self-sharpening of cutting elements of cultivating and earth-moving machines in conditions of reinforcing their working surfaces

Розглянуто динаміку зміни напруженого стану і стану зношення різальних елементів робочих органів ґрунтообробних і землерийних машин за різних варіантів зміцнення.

Resonance Microwave Absorption in He II.

Microwave (MW) absorption in liquid 4He is investigated in the frequency range of 40-200 GHz at T = 1.4 - 2.5 K. Whispering gallery of waves was generated by a dielectric disc resonator immersed into the liquid. Resonance absorption of MWs was detected at 180.3 GHz, which corresponds to the roton minimum of the liquid helium excitation spectrum. The creation of a single roton is possible because of the presence of the resonator wall which absorbs an extra momentum. The resonance frequency is shown to decreases with temperature in an excellent agreement with the temperature dependence of the roton gap obtained previously in the neutron scattering experiment. The temperature dependence of the MW absorption data indicates the anomalous behavior near the lambda-point and displays the hysteretic character.Comment: 10pages, 8 figure
