Abstract: | As a first step towards thermodynamic measurements in highly polarised dense3He fluids, an accurate determination of the4He chemical potential 4was performed in unpolarised phase-separated3He-4He liquid mixtures at low pressures (0-1 bar) over a temperature range 0.12 - 0.65 K. A method introduced by H. London and relying on heat flush effects was used. Two volumes containing : a) a cold, phase-separated helium mixture and b) a warmed, pure4He liquid are connected by a narrow tube, and their temperatures are recorded under various conditions. The results agree with existing data obtained by the same technique for T >0.2K, but cannot be analysed with the simple regular solution model fitting vapour pressure data at T >0.6K. The sensitivity of the technique is shown to be sufficient to observe expected effects of nuclear polarisation on 4. |
