Plasticity induced superclimb in solid Helium-4: Direct and inverse effects
arXiv:1905.01515 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.100.014513
Abstract
During the last decade experimental evidence is building that the mass supertransport through solid Helium-4 as well as the anomalously large matter accumulation in the bulk -- the giant isochoric compressibility (aka the syringe effect) -- are both supported by a network of dislocations with superfluid core. However, a structure of this network as well as its relation to the basal (non-superfluid) dislocations which are responsible for plasticity remain unclear. Here it is shown that superclimbing and basal edge dislocations can form bound pairs. This implies that plastic deformation should produce the syringe effect and vice versa. The experimental test is proposed. While the strength of the effect depends on the average orientation of the paired dislocations, there is a feature unique for the superfluid dislocation scenario -- the supercurrents flow in the direction perpendicular to the plastic deformation.
