Superfluid3He in high magnetic fields: New results

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The superfluid A1 an A2 transitions have been studied by means of vibrating wire viscosimeters in magnetic fields up to 9.3 T. Using the technique of quick melting of polarized solid (Castaing-Nozières effect) we have succeeded in increasing the superfluid transition temperature\(T_{A_1 } \) from 2.86 to 3.23 mK, which is the highest up to now. Using this method, with some improvements, it should be possible to test some of the present theoretical models for3He. A minimum of the viscosity in the A1 phase has been observed for the first time. Very close to the A2 transition an anomaly in the amplitude of the viscometers seems to indicate the presence of a new phase, or some textural change due to dipole locking.
