Abstract

We report high precision NMR measurements of the susceptibility of 3 He films adsorbed on graphite in a the temperature range 4-300 mK using a fine coverage grid between 0.185 and 0.285 atoms/Å 2. High temperature series expansions of the multiple spin exchange Hamiltonian fit accurately the susceptibility as well as available heat capacity data, providing a consistent description of the structural and thermodynamic properties of 3 He films. A long standing paradox for the ferromagnetic regime (heat capacity and susceptibility are described by the Heisenberg model, but with different exchange constants) is quantitatively explained by the MSE model.
