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.***

Parpia9970817这个低温物理研究项目旨在创造条件，让He-3（一种费米超流体）和He-4（一种玻色超流体）共存、相互渗透和相互作用。两种不同的超流体物种的这种共存和相互渗透在整体上不会发生。气凝胶（一种稀释的空间填充玻璃杂质）的特性允许对这种新的物质状态进行检查。此外，该项目还建议开始测量气凝胶中正常 3He 的流量。当气凝胶足够致密时，3He 应表现出与电子系统中量子传输中观察到的特征相似的特征，而在稀释极限下，流动应表现出从德鲁德流动行为到泊肃叶流动行为的交叉。这些现象从基础物理学的角度以及潜在的应用角度来看都很重要。流量生成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。研究生接受适合学术界、工业研发和金融领域职业的培训。他们对技术领域的熟悉、创新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于非常稀的玻璃（气凝胶）对 3He 的影响。气凝胶将无序引入 3He 中，并允许另一种超流体 4He 渗透到 3He 超流体的核心内部。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。为什么这项在如此极端低温下的工作对国家很重要？电子超导体中的量子机械干涉可用于对弱磁场进行成像，例如大脑活动中的弱磁场。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，并且可能会带来新的应用。诱导和测量量子和常规状态下的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。油田采收、含水层管理以及生物液体流动等领域都可能受益。研究生接受适合学术界、工业研发和金融领域职业的培训。他们对技术领域的熟悉、从头到尾创新和管理项目的能力以及整合新技术的能力受到高度追捧。***
