Structure-Factor Measurements In 4he At Saturated Vapor Pressure For 1.38<~T<~4.24 K, Robert Hallock, H. N. Robkoff Jan 1981

Structure-Factor Measurements In 4he At Saturated Vapor Pressure For 1.38<~T<~4.24 K, Robert Hallock, H. N. Robkoff

Robert Hallock

We present the results of measurements of the liquid structure factor, S(k), for liquid 4He at saturated vapor pressure at seven temperatures between 1.38 and 4.24 K over the momentum-transfer range k<~5.1 Å-1. The results are compared with previous measurements carried out by both x-ray and neutron scattering techniques. Comparison with recent theoretical work emphasizes the importance of higher-order correlations and more realistic potentials in the description of the liquid. Measurements in the vicinity of the λ transition document a loss in spatial order as the liquid is cooled through Tλ.


Phase Separation In 3he-4he Mixture Films, Robert Hallock, F. M. Ellis, M. D. Miller, R. A. Guyer Jan 1981

Phase Separation In 3he-4he Mixture Films, Robert Hallock, F. M. Ellis, M. D. Miller, R. A. Guyer

We report detailed observations of the propagation of third sound in 3He-4He mixture films as a function of temperature and 3He concentration. The data are consistent with a simple model for the film and we conclude that thin 3He-4He mixture films exhibit nearly complete phase separation.
