Helium three.

Author(s) : DOBBS E. R.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book, published in the "International Series of Monographs on Physics", covers all the low temperature properties of helium three as liquid, superfluid, and solid. It provides an introduction to the extensive literature on helium three from the point of view of an experimentalist, and includes the analogy of its properties with the cosmological 'big bang'. Extract from the table of contents: liquid helium 3 (Fermi gas; Fermi liquid in equilibrium; transport properties: thermal conductivity, viscosity; collective modes; motion of particles; further theories; surfaces and interfaces: surface tension, nucleation, thermal boundary resistance, thin films; spin-polarized liquid); mixtures of helium 3 and helium 4 (basic properties; acoustic and temperature waves; transport properties: viscosity and thermal measurements, diffusion; neutron and photon scattering; theory and properties of spin-polarized solutions; low-dimensional structures; interfaces; solutions of helium 4 in helium 3; search for superfluidity in mixtures); superfluid helium 3 (basic properties; BCS superfluids; multiple phases; superfluidity; magnetic resonance properties; collective modes; hydrodynamics; surfaces and interfaces; rotating superfluid); solid helium 3 (quantum crystal; lattice dynamics; paramagnetism; antiferromagnetism; ferromagnetism; crystal shapes and defects; low-dimensional structures).
