چکیده
Superfluid 3He-B in the zero-temperature limit offers a unique means of studying quantum turbulence by the Andreev reflection of quasiparticle excitations by the vortex flow fields. We validate the experimental visualization of turbulence in 3He-B by showing the relation between the vortex-line density and the Andreev reflectance of the vortex tangle in the first simulations of the Andreev reflectance by a realistic 3D vortex tangle, and comparing the results with the first experimental measurements able to probe quantum turbulence on length scales smaller than the intervortex separation.

Ballistic propagation of thermal excitations near a vortex in superfluid He-B
Abstract Andreev scattering of thermal excitations is a powerful tool for studying quantized vortices and turbulence in superfluid 3He-B at very low temperatures. We write Hamilton’s equations for a quasiparticle in the presence of a vortex line, determine its trajectory, and find under wich conditions it is Andreev reflected. To make contact with experiments, we generalize our results to the O...
متن کاملObservation of quantum turbulence in superfluid He-B using reflection and transmission of ballistic thermal excitations
We report measurements of quantum turbulence generated by a vibrating grid in superfluid HeB at zero pressure in the zero temperature limit. Superfluid flow around individual vortex lines Andreev-reflects incoming thermal ballistic quasiparticle excitations, and allows non-invasive detection of quantum vortices in He-B. We have compared two Andreev reflection-based techniques traditionally used...
متن کاملHe and Casimir Effect
The friction force on the moving interface between two different vacuum states of superfluid 3He is considered at low temperature. Since the dominating mechanism of the friction is the Andreev reflection of the massless " relativistic " fermions, which live on the A-phase side of the interface, the results are similar to that for the perfectly reflecting mirror moving in the quantum vacuum.
متن کاملTopological matter: graphene and superfluid
The physics of graphene and of the superfluid phases of 3He have many common features. Both systems are topological materials where quasiparticles behave as relativistic massless (Weyl, Majorana or Dirac) fermions. We formulate the points where these features are overlapping. This will allow us to use graphene to study the properties of superfluid 3He, to use superfluid 3He to study the propert...
متن کاملThe dynamics of vortex generation in superfluid 3He-B
A profound change occurs in the stability of quantized vortices in externally applied flow of superfluid 3He-B at temperatures . 0.6Tc, owing to the rapidly decreasing damping in vortex motion with decreasing temperature. At low damping an evolving vortex may become unstable and generate a new independent vortex loop. This single-vortex instability is the generic mechanism for creating the requ...
