Torsional oscillator and synchrotron X-Ray experiments on solid 4He in aerogel.
X-ray diffraction experiments show that solid 4He grown in aerogel is highly polycrystalline, with an hcp crystal structure (as in bulk) and a crystallite size of approximately 100 nm. In contrast to the expectation that the highly disordered solid will have a large supersolid fraction, torsional oscillator measurements show a behavior that is strikingly similar to high purity crystals grown fr...
متن کاملClassical rotational inertia of solid 4He.
The observation of reduced rotational inertia in a cell containing solid 4He has been interpreted as evidence for superfluidity of the solid. We propose an alternative explanation: slippage of the solid, due to grain boundary premelting between the solid and dense adsorbed layers at the container wall. We calculate the range of film thickness, and determine the viscosity that will account for t...
متن کاملAn aperture array oscillator in super#uid 4He
We present studies of super#uid 4He #ow through an array of apertures using a diaphragm-aperture oscillator technique. The apertures, which have diameters of the order of 100 nm and are typically spaced a few microns apart, are made in a 90 nm thick SiN membrane. We have measured the supercritical #ow through the array as a function of temperature and oscillator drive. At low temperatures, the ...
متن کاملMeasurement of Newtonian fluid slip using a torsional ultrasonic oscillator.
The composite torsional ultrasonic oscillator, a versatile experimental system, can be used to investigate slip of a Newtonian fluid at a smooth surface. A rigorous analysis of slip-dependent damping for the oscillator is presented. Initially, the phenomenon of finite surface slip and the slip length are considered for a half space of Newtonian fluid in contact with a smooth, oscillating solid ...
متن کاملTorsional Dynamics and Rotational Estimation of Tip-steerable Needles
In this dissertation, we present improvements to modeling of tip-steerable needles and new estimation techniques with applications to tip-steerable needles. Previous models of tip-steerable needles assumed the angles and velocities at the tip and base of the needle were equivalent. Such assumptions were simplifying, but not accurate. Additionally, to accurately control the trajectories of tip-s...
