Helium mixtures in nanotube bundles

arXiv:cond-mat/9910129 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.61.7288

Abstract

An analogue to Raoult's law is determined for the case of a 3He-4He mixture adsorbed in the interstitial channels of a bundle of carbon nanotubes. Unlike the case of He mixtures in other environments, the ratio of the partial pressures of the coexisting vapor is found to be a simple function of the ratio of concentrations within the nanotube bundle.
