Parpia9970817This low temperature physics research project seeks to create conditions under which He-3, a Fermi superfluid and He-4, a Bose superfluid coexist, interpenetrate and interact with each other. Such a coexistence and interpenetration of two distinct superfluid species does not occur in the bulk. The properties of Aerogel, a dilute space-filling glass impurity allow this new state of matter to be examined. In addition the project proposes to initiate the measurement of flow of normal 3He in aerogel. When the aerogel is sufficiently dense, the 3He should display characteristics similar to those observed in quantum transport in electron systems, while in the dilute limit, the flow should display a crossover from the Drude to Poiseuille flow behavior. These phenomena are important both from the fundamental physics viewpoint as well for potential applications. Flow generation and measurement techniques as well as the knowledge gained from the measurements will have applications in many fields. Graduate students receive training appropriate to careers in academia, industrial R & D, and the financial sector. Their familiarity with technical areas, ability to innovate, and to integrate new technology is highly sought after. %%%This low temperature research project concentrates on the effects of a very dilute glass (aerogel) on 3He. The aerogel introduces disorder into the 3He and allows another superfluid, 4He, to penetrate inside the core of the 3He superfluid. The project will look for coexistent superfluids and for interactions between the two distinct 4He and 3He superfluids. The esearcher will also examine in detail the effect of disorder on the flow of a quantum fluid. Why is this work at such an extreme low temperature important for the Nation? Quantum mechanical interference in electronic superconductors can be used to image weak magnetic fields, for example from activity in the brain. Quantum mechanical interference between two different species of superfluids has never been studied and could lead to new applications. The techniques needed to induce and measure flow in the quantum and conventional regimes as well as the understanding gained will have applications for flow in porous media. Areas such as oil field recovery, the management of aquifers, as well as the flow of biological fluids could benefit.

Their familiarity with technical areas, ability to innovate and manage a project from start to finish, as well as to integrate new technology is highly sought after.***

这个低温物理研究项目寻求创造条件，使He-3和He-4共存、相互渗透和相互作用。这种两种不同的超流体物质的共存和相互渗透在整体上是不会发生的。气凝胶是一种稀薄的填充空间的玻璃杂质，它的性质使人们能够检查这种新的物质状态。此外，该项目还建议启动气凝胶中正常3He流量的测量。当气凝胶足够致密时，3He应该表现出类似于在电子系统中量子输运中观察到的特征，而在稀释极限时，3He应该表现出从Drude到Poiseuille流动的交叉行为。这些现象无论是从基本物理学的角度还是从潜在的应用来看都很重要。流量产生和测量技术以及从测量中获得的知识将在许多领域得到应用。研究生接受的培训与学术界、工业研发和金融部门的职业生涯相适应。他们对技术领域的熟悉程度、创新能力和整合新技术的能力备受追捧。这个低温研究项目集中在一种非常稀薄的玻璃(气凝胶)对3He的影响。气凝胶将无序引入3He，并允许另一种超流体4He穿透3He超流体的核心。该项目将寻找共存的超流体，以及两种不同的4He和3He超流体之间的相互作用。研究人员还将详细研究无序对量子流体流动的影响。为什么这项在极端低温下的工作对国家来说很重要？电子超导体中的量子力学干扰可以用来成像弱磁场，例如大脑中的活动。两种不同种类的超流体之间的量子力学干涉从来没有被研究过，可能会带来新的应用。在量子和常规区域中诱导和测量流动所需的技术以及所获得的理解将应用于多孔介质中的流动。油田回收、含水层管理以及生物流体流动等领域可能会受益。研究生接受的培训与学术界、工业研发和金融部门的职业生涯相适应。他们对技术领域的熟悉程度、自始至终创新和管理项目的能力，以及整合新技术的能力备受追捧。*
