Thermal Conductivity of Spin-Polarized LiquidHe3

Abstract: We present the first measurements of the thermal conductivity of spin-polarized normal liquid 3He. Using the rapid melting technique to produce nuclear polarizations up to 0.7, and a vibrating wire both as a heater and a thermometer, we show that, unlike the viscosity, the conductivity increases much less than predicted for s-wave scattering. We suggest that this might be due to a small probability for head-on collisions between quasiparticles.

“…On the other hand, a very high polarization, equivalent to 200 T field, has been achieved in normal liquid near 90 mK by rapid melting techniques. 18,19) There are a number of theoretical studies on A 1 phase near totally polarized state. The ultimate ''fate'' of A 1 phase in such unusual state is yet to be explored experimentally.…”
