Abstract

The relative changes in the low-temperature susceptibility of a number of dilute mixtures of3He in liquid4He at various pressures are reported and analyzed. Under elevated pressures, the solubility of3He in4He increases and the effects of the interaction between3He quasiparticles clearly become larger. However, no evidence of a BCS pairing transition was found in direct measurements of susceptibility and nuclear resonance frequency down to the temperature 1.5 mK in saturated solutions with a pressure of 21 bar.
