Zeeman Splitting and Nonlinear Field-Dependence in Superfluid 3He

Journal of Low Temperature Physics volume 171, pages 214–219 (2013)Cite this article

Abstract

We have studied the acoustic Faraday effect in superfluid 3He up to significantly larger magnetic fields than in previous experiments achieving rotations of the polarization of transverse sound as large as 1710°. We report nonlinear field effects, and use the linear results to determine the Zeeman splitting of the imaginary squashing mode (ISQ) frequency in 3He-B.
