Capacitive Generation and Detection of Third Sound Resonances in Saturated Superfluid <Superscript>4</Superscript>He Films
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the operation of a third sound resonator for use with saturated superfluid helium films. Measurements of superfluid 4He third sound velocities as a function of film thickness are described for films ranging in thickness from 26 nm to 85 nm. The film resides on the gold-covered surface of a 38 mm diameter copper disk, which has been machined with a diamond-tipped cutting tool, and has an rms roughness of about 10 nm. PACS numbers: 67.40.Hf, 67.40.Pm, 67.40.Rp

Measurements of Attenuation of Third Sound: Evidence of Trapped Vorticity in Thick Films of Superfluid
We present results of a study of third sound in thick He films in circular resonator geometry. Frequency and line shapes of third sound resonances are measured for temperatures between 0.3 and 2.1 K in saturated films approximately 30 nm thick. From these measurements we calculate the attenuation of the sound. We find that the attenuation at a given temperature is a function of history of the f...
متن کاملThermoviscous Effects in Steady and Oscillating Flow of Superfluid <Superscript>4</Superscript>He: Experiments
The correct interpretation of superfluid flow experiments relies on the knowledge of thermal and viscous effects that can cause deviations from ideal behavior. The previous paper presented a theoretical study of dissipative and reactivejnondissipative) thermoviscous effects in both steady and oscillating flow of an isotropic superfluid through small apertures and channels. Here, a detailed comp...
متن کاملEffect of 3 He on Third Sound Attenuation in Thick 4 He Films
We have performed measurements of third sound attenuation in thick films of superfluid He in the presence of small amounts of He. The attenuation due to He appears to depend linearly on the number density of He atoms in the film. We discuss the results in context of a recently proposed mechanism where the attenuation is caused by the interaction of the excitations in helium with the trapped vor...

متن کاملOne-dimensional Excitations in Superfluid He and He-He Mixture Films Adsorbed in Porous Materials
(Dated: February 1, 2008) A normal-fluid component varying as T is observed at very low temperatures in superfluid He and He-He mixture films adsorbed in alumina powder. The normal fluid appears to arise from thermally excited third sound that has one-dimensional propagation characteristics. A Landau model of third sound excitations in an infinite cylindrical pore by Saam and Cole provides good...
