Globally Anisotropic High Porosity Silica Aerogels
J. Pollanen, K. Shirer, S. Blinstein +5
We discuss two methods by which high porosity silica aerogels can be engineered to exhibit global anisotropy. First, anisotropy can be introduced with axial strain. In addition, in…

Compressed Silica Aerogels for the Study of Superfluid 3He
J. Pollanen, H. Choi, J. P. Davis +5
We have performed Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) on uniaxially strained aerogels and measured the strain-induced structural anisotropy. We use a model to connect our SAXS resu…

Anisotropic Aerogels for Studying Superfluid He
J. Pollanen, S. Blinstein, H. Choi +4
It may be possible to stabilize new superfluid phases of He with anisotropic silica aerogels. We discuss two methods that introduce anisotropy in the aerogel on length scales…
