Superfluid onset and prewetting of He on rubidium
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quartz-crystal microbalance isotherms of He on rubidium are presented. The isotherms are used to locate the prewetting transition and the onset of superfluidity in the adsorbed helium films. The phase diagram of He on Rb is distinctly different from helium on either conventional strong substrates or on cesium. In particular, the superfluid transition is hysteretic and does not conform to the Kosterlitz-Thouless paradigm. @S0163-1829~98!04930-3#

VISCOSITY 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 کاملCalorimetric Study of Nematic Prewetting
– We report specific-heat measurements for a series of liquid crystals imbedded in a porous cylindrical geometry. Above the nematic-to-isotropic transition and dependent on nematic width (or chain length), the specific heat shows a small peak. In analogy to known ellipsometry results, the peak is believed to be the signature of a nematic prewetting transition. The behavior of liquid crystals (L...
متن کاملAdsorption of Cesium, Strontium, and Rubidium radionuclides in the Mag-molecular process: The influence of important factors
In this study, the adsorption of cesium, strontium, and rubidium radionuclides by ferritin magmolecules in a batch system was investigated under different experimental conditions. The experiments were conducted in a pilot plant that involved the contactor unit and the magnetic separator unit. The impact of the pollutant concentrations, adsorbent concentration, and pH on the efficiency of the pr...

We investigate the spreading of 4 He droplets on alkali surfaces at zero temperature, within the frame of Finite Range Density Functional theory. The equilibrium configurations of several 4 He N clusters and their asymptotic trend with increasing particle number N , which can be traced to the wetting behavior of the quantum fluid, are examined for nanoscopic droplets. We discuss the size effect...
متن کاملSuperfluid phase diagrams of trapped Fermi gases with population imbalance.
We present phase diagrams for population-imbalanced, trapped Fermi superfluids near unitarity. In addition to providing quantitative values for the superfluid transition temperature, the pairing onset temperature, and the transition line (separating the Sarma and phase separation regimes), we study experimental signatures of these transitions based on density profiles and density differences at...
