Abstract
Liquid and solid3He P-V-T relations were measured over 0.26–1.8 K with concentration on regions near the melting curve. The method used a cell whose volume was varied with diaphragms, the positions of which determined the volume and pressure. The molar volumes of liquidV lm and solidV sm along the melting curve were consistent with the directly measured volume change on melting ΔV m . Below 1 K,V lm , Vsm, and ΔV m were greater than previous results. Along the melting curve, the compressibility of the solid became greater than the compressibility of the liquid atT<1.2 K, the difference rising to 12% at 0.32 K. The thermal expansion of the solid became negative below 0.30–0.35 K. The melting curve minimum was measured at 28.932±0.003 atm and 0.319±0.003 K. Starting with the minimum, the melting curve was calculated to 0.02 K, where it should be useful in thermometry. A set of self-consistent data is presented.
