Composite defect extends cosmology - 3He analogy
V. B. Eltsov, T. W. B. Kibble, M. Krusius +2
Spin-mass vortices have been observed to form in rotating superfluid 3He-B following the absorption of a thermal neutron and a rapid transition from the normal to superfluid state.…
Critical Velocity of Vortex Nucleation in Rotating Superfluid 3He-A
V. M. H. Ruutu, J. Kopu, M. Krusius +4
We have measured the critical velocity v_c at which 3He-A in a rotating cylinder becomes unstable against the formation of quantized vortex lines with continuous (singularity-free)…
Defect Formation in Quench-Cooled Superfluid Phase Transition
V. M. Ruutu, V. B. Eltsov, M. Krusius +3
We use neutron absorption in rotating 3He-B to heat locally a 10 micrometer-size volume into normal phase. When the heated region cools back in microseconds, vortex lines are forme…
Stable Spin Precession at one Half of Equilibrium Magnetization in Superfluid 3He-B
V. V. Dmitriev, I. V. Kosarev, M. Krusius +3
New stable modes of spin precession have been observed in superfluid 3He-B. These dynamical order parameter states include precession with a magnetization S=pS_{eq} which is differ…
Big bang simulation in superfluid 3He-B -- Vortex nucleation in neutron-irradiated superflow
V. M. H. Ruutu, V. B. Eltsov, A. J. Gill +6
We report the observation of vortex formation upon the absorption of a thermal neutron in a rotating container of superfluid He-B. The nuclear reaction n + He = p + H +…
