Mixed Bose - Fermi Superfluids and Fermi Liquid Transport in the Presence of Disorder

Parpia 9970817这个低温物理研究项目旨在创造条件，使费米超流体He-3和玻色超流体He-4共存，相互渗透和相互作用。这种两种不同的超流体物种的共存和相互渗透不会发生在本体中。气凝胶是一种稀释的填充空间的玻璃杂质，它的性质允许人们研究这种新的物质状态。此外，该项目还建议开始测量气凝胶中正常氦-3的流量。当气凝胶足够致密时，3 He应该显示出类似于在电子系统中的量子输运中观察到的那些特性，而在稀释极限中，流动应该显示出从Drude到Poiffille流动行为的交叉。这些现象从基础物理学的观点以及潜在的应用都是重要的。流动产生和测量技术以及从测量中获得的知识将在许多领域中得到应用。研究生接受适合学术界，工业研发和金融部门职业的培训。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受到高度追捧。这个低温研究项目集中在非常稀的玻璃（气凝胶）对3 He的影响上。气凝胶将无序引入到3 He中，并允许另一种超流体4 He渗透到3 He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4 He和3 He超流体之间的相互作用。研究者还将详细研究无序对量子流体流动的影响。为什么在如此极端的低温下工作对国家很重要？电子超导体中的量子力学干涉可用于成像弱磁场，例如来自大脑活动的磁场。两种不同种类的超流体之间的量子力学干涉从未被研究过，可能会导致新的应用。所需的技术，以诱导和测量流动的量子和常规制度，以及所获得的理解将有应用程序在多孔介质中的流动。油田开采、含水层管理以及生物流体流动等领域可能会受益。研究生接受适合学术界，工业研发和金融部门职业的培训。他们对技术领域的熟悉程度，从头到尾的创新和管理项目的能力，以及整合新技术的能力都是非常受欢迎的。

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. 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 manage a project from start to finish, as well as to integrate new technology is highly sought after.***
