Abstract: | 3
He droplets embedded in a solid
4
He matrix have been studied by NMR and pressure measurements. One feature of the experiment is that the mixture crystals, of
3
He concentration 1%, are grown under constant pressure conditions to minimise the formation of defects. A number of sample pressures below 34 bar have been studied. Isotopic phase separation and the melting of the bubbles are clearly observed. Measurements of T1
, T2
and magnetisation give detailed information on the structure of the droplets. At an initial sample pressure of 28.3 bar preliminary measurements of the T1
of the liquid bubbles show a temperature dependence of the form (A+ B/T2)–1. This indicates that the expected relaxation in the liquid is augmented by a constant contribution, probably from the surface of the droplets. |
