Study of Superfluid 3 He Under Nanoscale Confinement
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review recent experiments in which superfluid 3He has been studied under highly controlled confinement in nanofluidic sample chambers. We discuss the experimental challenges and their resolution. These methods open the way to a systematic investigation of the superfluidity of 3He films, and the surface and edge excitations of topological superfluids.

Phase diagram of the topological superfluid 3He confined in a nanoscale slab geometry.
The superfluid phases of helium-3 ((3)He) are predicted to be strongly influenced by mesoscopic confinement. However, mapping out the phase diagram in a confined geometry has been experimentally challenging. We confined a sample of (3)He within a nanofluidic cavity of precisely defined geometry, cooled it, and fingerprinted the order parameter using a sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance spectr...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Chambers for Studies of Confined Superfluid He-3
We have studied superfluid helium-3 (He-3) confined to submicron slab geometries inside nanofabricated, microfluidic chambers. Two separate techniques were used to study the He-3 inside the chambers; nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and the torsional oscillator (TO). The NMR studies have shown a significant modification to the superfluid He-3 phase diagram as a result of the confinement, wherea...
متن کاملVISCOSITY COEFFICIENTS OF THE A-PHASE OF SUPERFLUID He AT LOW TEMPERATURES
It has been shown that the Boltzmann equation for the viscosity of the A-phase of superfluid 3He at low temperatures has the same form as for a normal Ferrni liquid. The viscosity coefficients A, B, C, D and E are derived exactly. The h , parameter plays an important role in determining the temperature dependence of the viscosity coefficients
متن کاملThe A-B transition in superfluid helium-3 under confinement in a thin slab geometry
The influence of confinement on the phases of superfluid helium-3 is studied using the torsional pendulum method. We focus on the transition between the A and B phases, where the A phase is stabilized by confinement and a spatially modulated stripe phase is predicted at the A-B phase boundary. Here we discuss results from superfluid helium-3 contained in a single 1.08-μm-thick nanofluidic cavit...
متن کاملImpact of Silicon Wafer Orientation on the Performance of Metal Source/Drain MOSFET in Nanoscale Regime: a Numerical Study
A comprehensive study of Schottky barrier MOSFET (SBMOSFET) scaling issue is performed to determine the role of wafer orientation and structural parameters on the performance of this device within Non-equilibrium Green's Function formalism. Quantum confinement increases the effective Schottky barrier height (SBH). (100) orientation provides lower effective Schottky barrier height in compa...
