Abstract: | We have investigated3He-4He mixtures at3He-concentrations 0.98%x9.5% by the vibrating wire technique in the temperature range 1 mKT 100 mK and at pressures 0 bar p 20 bar. In the degenerate regime of the mixtures the Landau theory of Fermi liquids predicts a temperature dependence of the viscosity proportionalT
–2. We report on the first observation of this behaviour at 3 mKT 10 mK for all investigated concentrations and pressures. At temperatures below about 20 mK slip corrections had to be taken into account due to the increase of the quasiparticle mean free path at very low temperatures. The low-temperature cut-off in T
2 = constant indicates the transition into the ballistic regime of the mixtures, where the mean free path of the quasiparticles exceeds the radius of the vibrating wire. Our results for the pressure dependence of the viscosity as well as for its magnitude show substantial differences from predictions based on pseudopotential theory. However, a calculation of with the quasiparticle interaction potential of recent solubility measurements in mixtures agrees well with our experimental data, in particular the pressure independence of . |
