U.S.-Germany Cooperative Research: Neutron Study of Magnetically Ordered Solid 3He

9815530亚当斯该奖项资助德怀特·亚当斯博士和高野康萨博士以及佛罗里达大学的一到两名研究生，他们与德国柏林哈恩·梅特纳研究所的康拉德·西门斯迈耶合作。该奖项资助的研究将集中在利用中子散射和传输研究磁性有序固体3He。计划中的实验将提供对全面理解基本磁系统中的交换过程至关重要的信息，因为在低压下，固体3He在低于0.9MK的温度下表现出两种不同的磁相。这种不寻常的行为可以用所谓的多重交换模型来解释。这一奖项将允许研究人员研究固体3He的高场相，这是从未使用中子散射分析过的。佛罗里达州的研究人员和哈恩·梅特纳之间的合作是实现拟议工作目标的理想选择。佛罗里达集团在固体3He方面拥有丰富的经验，特别是在生长晶体并将其冷却到必要的低温方面，哈恩·迈特纳研究所拥有世界上唯一能够级联冷却到实现适当晶体有序所需温度的中子设施。

Dwight Adams and Yasumasa Takano and one or two graduate students from the University of Florida in a collaboration with Konrad Siemensmeyer of the Hahn Meitner Institute in Berlin, Germany. The research funded by this award will focus on the study of magnetically ordered solid 3He using neutron scattering and transmission. The planned experiments will provide information crucial for a full understanding of exchange processes in a fundamental magnetic system, because at low pressure, solid 3He exhibits two different magnetic phases at temperatures less than 0.9 mK. This unusual behavior can be interpreted using what is known as a multiple-exchange model. This award will allow the investigators to study the high-field phase of solid 3He, which has never been analyzed using neutron scattering. The collaboration between researchers at Florida and Hahn Meitner is ideal for achieving the objective of the proposed work. The Florida group has extensive experience with solid 3He, especially in growing crystals and cooling them to the necessary low temperatures and the Hahn Meitner Institute has the only neutron facility in the world capable of cascade cooling to the temperatures necessary for achieving the proper crystal ordering.
