ShareProbable observation of a supersolid helium phase.
Author(s) : KIM E., CHAN M. H. W.
Type of article: Article
Summary
This article reports torsional oscillator measurements on solid helium confined in a porous medium, a configuration that is likely to be more heavily populated with vacancies than bulk helium. The authors find an abrupt drop in the rotational inertia of the confined solid below a certain critical temperature. The most likely interpenetration of the inertia drop is entry into the supersolid phase. If confirmed, the results show that all three states of matter - gas, liquid and solid - can undergo Bose-Einstein condensation.
