Abstract
We have investigated the viscosity of liquid3He-4He mixtures at various3He - concentrations (0.98%≤x≤9.5%) in the temperature range1 mK ≤ T ≤100 mK and at pressures 0 bar ≤ P ≤20 bar. At T≤10 mK the Fermi-liquid behaviour ηT2 = const. as well as η ∝ x4/3 could be confirmed. However, there are significant deviations from theoretical predictions for the magnitude of the viscosity as well as for its pressure dependence.
