We present the first measurements of the thermal conductivity of spin-polarized normal liquid 3He. Using the rapid melting technique to produce nuclear polarizations up to 0.7, and a vibrating wire both as a heater and a thermometer, we show that, unlike the viscosity, the conductivity increases much less than predicted for s-wave scattering. We suggest that this might be due to a small probabi...

Several azalogies between nuclear systems and liquid 31ie are presented and discussed. The usefulness of the mean field approach in describing several static and dynamic properties of quantum liquids is emphasized. Using a Skyrme force to account for the interaction in liquid 3 ~ e we give predictions for the equation of state in bulk matter, fcr relevant surface properties (surface profile, cl...

We show how a gapless spin liquid with hidden octupolar order arises in an applied magnetic field, in a model applicable to thin films of 3He with competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic (cyclic) exchange interactions. Evidence is also presented for nematic--i.e., quadrupolar--correlations bordering on ferromagnetism in the absence of a magnetic field.

The energy spectrum, as well as effective mass of impurity is calculated. For the case of an 3He atom in superfluid 4He numerical calculations...

Variational Fermi HNC calculations are performed for spin-polarized 3 ~ e liquid at zero temperature. The trial wave function is optimized by solving an Euler-Lagrange equation in the Fermi HNC approximation. Results for liquid structure function and one-particle momentum distribution are compared with the corresponding quantities of the spin-saturated liquid. In this report we present results ...

The low-temperature magnetic susceptibility of normal and superfluid 3He confined between mylar foils spaced 40 p apart shows a large and field-dependent enhancement over the bulk Fermi liquid magnitude. The excess susceptibility disappears when the liquid is doped with 0.5 7; 4He. The reason for the excess is unknown. We also studied the proton resonance of the mylar substrate and obtained spi...

The interplay of bulk and boundary scattering is explored in a regime where quantum size effects modify mesoscopic transport in a degenerate Fermi liquid film of 3He on a rough surface. We discuss mass transport and the momentum relaxation time of the film in a torsional oscillator geometry within the framework of a quasiclassical theory that includes the experimentally determined power spectru...
