An investigation of the dispersion of excitations in a quantum liquid, superfluid He4, is carried out. An attempt is made to systematize the published experimental data that indicate a substantially different nature of excitations with wave vectors corresponding to different parts of the dispersion curve of liquid He4. Neutron spectroscopy data are analyzed in relation to a certain physical hypothesis concerning the formation of such a spectrum, and it is found that the majority of the known experimental facts can be explained in framework of that hypothesis. Particular attention is paid to a comparison of the experimental data obtained on the DIN-2PI time-of-flight spectrometer (at the IBR-2 Reactor, Dubna) with the results obtained at foreign research centers.
Analytical forms of the empirical equations of state of the system are obtained for an equimolar He3–He4 mixture in the homogeneous liquid and dense fluid phases at temperatures 1.5–14 K and pressures 0–10 MPa on the basis of the existing experimental P–V–T data. This is done by choosing approximating expressions, setting up a computer program, and calculating the fitting coefficients of the expressions. The quality of the approximation corresponds to the accuracy of the experimental determinations and is on average 0.5%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
