Phase Transition of Superfluid 3He in Aerogel

We have studied phase transition of superfluid 3He in 97.5% porosity aerogel by NMR method. Above 1.0 MPa, superfluid phase transition has been observed. The transition temperature Tca is strongly suppressed from its bulk value. The Pressure-Temperature diagram suggests that superfluid phase will no...

Zusammenfassung:We have studied phase transition of superfluid 3He in 97.5% porosity aerogel by NMR method. Above 1.0 MPa, superfluid phase transition has been observed. The transition temperature Tca is strongly suppressed from its bulk value. The Pressure-Temperature diagram suggests that superfluid phase will not appear below near 0.8 MPa. The A-B phase transition has been observed above 1.3 MPa, below which a state of superfluid phases remains to be identified. The temperature dependence of NMR frequency shifts Δf in the A-like and the B-like phases are almost linear at pressures below 2.4 MPa. We obtained the differential coefficient of NMR frequency shifts ∂(Δf)/∂(T/Tca) at 0.9Tca as a function of pressure, and it suggests that superfluid phase will not appear below near 0.8 MPa which is the same pressure estimated by P-T diagram.
