Simulations of localized States of stationary convection in 3He-4He mixtures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simulations of convection in 3He-4He mixtures with a negative separation ratio in two-dimensional containers with realistic boundary conditions and moderately large aspect ratio reveal, at supercritical Rayleigh numbers, the existence of "convectons," i.e., localized states of stationary convection, separated by regions of no convection. The origin and properties of these states are described.

متن کاملBinding of a 3He impurity to a screw dislocation in solid 4He.
Using first-principles simulations for the probability density of finding a 3He atom in the vicinity of the screw dislocation in solid 4He, we determine the binding energy to the dislocation nucleus E(B)=0.8+/-0.1 K and the density of localized states at larger distances. The specific heat due to 3He features a peak similar to the one observed in recent experiments, and our model can also accou...

3He atoms dissolved in superfluid 4He may form dimers (He)2 in two-dimensional (2D) geometries. We study dimer formation in films of dilute 3He–4He mixture. After designing a schematic 3He–3He interaction potential we calculate the dimer binding energy for various substrates. It is shown that 3He impurity states localized near the substrate give rise to the largest magnitudes of the binding ene...
متن کاملDissipation mechanisms near the superfluid 3He transition in aerogel.
We have investigated the dissipation (Q-1) using the torsion pendulum technique for pure 3He and 3He-4He mixtures in silica aerogel near the 3He superfluid transition (T(c)) in aerogel. With pure 3He the Q-1 decreases at the onset of superfluidity. When phase separated 3He-4He mixtures are introduced into the aerogel, the Q-1 does not decrease as rapidly and eventually increases for the highest...
متن کاملSpatially localized states in Marangoni convection in binary mixtures
Two-dimensional Marangoni convection in binary mixtures is studied in periodic domains with large spatial period in the horizontal. For negative Soret coefficients convection may set in via growing oscillations which evolve into standing waves. With increasing amplitude these waves undergo a transition to traveling waves, and then to more complex waveforms. Out of this state emerge stable stati...
