Chiral superfluid helium-3 in the quasi-two-dimensional limit
Petri J. Heikkinen, Lev V. Levitin, Xavier Rojas +8
Anisotropic pair breaking close to surfaces favors the chiral A phase of the superfluid He over the time-reversal invariant B phase. Confining the superfluid He into a cavi…
Precise Calorimetry of Small Metal Samples Using Noise Thermometry
Jan Knapp, Lev V. Levitin, Ján Nyéki +2
We describe a compact calorimeter that opens ultra-low temperature heat capacity studies of small metal crystals in moderate magnetic fields. The performance is demonstrated on the…
QUEST-DMC: Background Modelling and Resulting Heat Deposit for a Superfluid Helium-3 Bolometer
S. Autti, A. Casey, N. Eng +21
We report the results of radioactivity assays and heat leak calculations for a range of common cryogenic materials, considered for use in the QUEST-DMC superfluid 3He dark matter d…
A-B transition in superfluid He and cosmological phase transitions
Mark Hindmarsh, J. A. Sauls, Kuang Zhang +10
First order phase transitions in the very early universe are a prediction of many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics and could provide the departure from equilibr…
Nanofluidic platform for studying the first-order phase transitions in superfluid helium-3
Petri J. Heikkinen, Nathan Eng, Lev V. Levitin +9
The symmetry-breaking first-order phase transition between superfluid phases He-A and He-B can be triggered extrinsically by ionising radiation or heterogeneous nucleation…
