Abstract

We have measured the absolute thermodynamic magnetization of 3He in all of its liquid phases while using a new calibration technique which relies on the nuclear paramagnetism over the entire temperature range below 1 K as measured by Ramm, et al. We have directly measured the temperature dependence separately of the nuclear paramagnetism via NMR and of the total magnetism via our free-surface modulation technique. We report substantial agreement with Ramm, et al. In consequence, we find that the diamagnetism of liquid 3He is significantly smaller than expected theoretically, a condensed matter effect not seen previously. We have also remeasured the magnitude of the magnetization discontinuity at the superfluid A-B transition and find close agreement at saturated vapor pressure with NMR-deduced values from Scholz.
