Can the 3He-A texture be electrically oriented?

  • Published:
Journal of Low Temperature Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The polarization contribution to the 3He-3He interaction affects the dielectric anisotropy in superfluid 3He-A. An improved molecular model of the polarization contribution verifies the results of previous atomic models. Design criteria are discussed for a feasible 3He-A electrical orientation experiment.
