Coulomb gas sum rules for vortex-pair fluctuations in 2D superfluids

Mingyu Fan, Gary A. Williams, Karla Galdamez +1

Vortex fluctuations above and below the critical Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition temperature are characterized using simulations of the 2D XY model. The net winding number of v…

Fundamental connection between temperature-quenched 2D superfluids and 2D quantum turbulence

Gary A. Williams

There is a fundamental connection between temperature-quenched 2D superfluids and 2D quantum turbulence: the mechanism responsible for the decay of the vorticity after the quench i…

Vortex-loop calculation of the specific heat of superfluid He under pressure

Andrew Forrester, Gary A. Williams

Vortex-loop renormalization is used to compute the specific heat of superfluid He near the lambda point at various pressures up to 26 bars. The input parameters are the the pre…

Renormalized analytic solution for the enstrophy cascade in two-dimensional quantum turbulence

Andrew Forrester, Han-ching Chu, Gary A. Williams

The forward enstrophy cascade in two-dimensional quantum turbulence in a superfluid film connected to a thermal bath is investigated using a Fokker-Planck equation based on Kosterl…

Superfluid Onset and Compressibility of He Films Adsorbed on Carbon Nanotubes

Emin Menachekanian, Vito Iaia, Mingyu Fan +7

Third sound measurements of superfluid He thin films adsorbed on 10 nm diameter multiwall carbon nanotubes are used to probe the superfluid onset temperature as a function of t…

Theory of adiabatic fountain resonance

Gary A. Williams

The theory of "Adiabatic Fountain Resonance" with superfluid He is clarified. In this geometry a film region between two silicon wafers bonded at their outer edge opens up to a…
