Properties of Liquid 4He Near its Superfluid Transition
• 4He never freezes under its vapor pressure, due to quantum zero-point motion, and due to weak He – He attractions– Zero-point kinetic energy Eo ~ (m d2)-1
– Eo/kB in 4He ~ 10 K and it never ‘freezes out’
– van der Waals attraction is about 5 K
• Superfluid transition at T under SVP (0.05 bar)• Reduced Temperature: = (T–T) /T
– Zero viscosity – Perfect thermal conductivity– ‘superfluid’ component is effectively at T = 0

Vs = (ħ/m) sm
Hence, x Vs ~ x
• You can not rotate a perfect superfluid, but … • You can rotate a ‘Type II’ superfluid provided
that you create topological defects (quantized vortices)

New Sub-Topic: Superfluids Near Criticality
Correlation length measures range of fluctuationso , where = |T - T|/T with o = 2x10-8 cm and = 0.671. We routinely stabilize ~ 10-9, where the divergence of is limited by gravity
Thermal conductivityDiverges due to fluctuations: = o -x with x ≈ ½

Now apply a heat flux Q:
Electrical currents in superconductors lower the ‘quench temperature’ in much the same way that a heat flux lowers the temperature where superfluidity abruptly fails in helium.

Gravitational Effect: g
As the superfluid transition is approached from above, the diverging correlation length eventually reaches its maximum value g = 0.1 mm, at a distance of 14 nK from T.

HfB: Tc(Q), TNL(Q), T
Tc(Q) and TNL(Q) are expected to extrapolate to T as Q goes tozero in microgravity, but not on Earth, as explained by Haussmann.

the cell, invading the superfluid phase from belowC: Cell is completely self-organizedD: As heat is added the normalfluid invades the SOC from above

What is Tsoc(Q)?
T = Q, so soc = Q /
soc soc-x = Q /
soc = [Q/( )]-1/x
T soc = Tsoc(Q,z) – Tc(Q,z)
Tsoc - Tc = T [Q/( )]-1/x
≈ 10-5 W/(cm K), x ≈ 0.48 ≈ 1.27 K / cm
Tsoc - Tc = T [Q / (12.7 pW/cm2)]-2.083
= 2,000 nK (Q = 10 nW/cm2) = 0.14 nK (Q = 1,000 nW/cm2)

New Anisotropic Wave SpeedChatto, Lee, Duncan, and Goodstein, JLTP, 2007.
More generally:u = - ∂QSOC/∂T(Chatto et al.)
![Page 27: Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56814561550346895db234ff/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Similarity in Temperature and Mass SOC
∂T/∂t = (/Cp) 2T + u • T where u = Cp-1
Likewise, for concentration c(z,t) of some agent,
∂c/∂t = Dc 2c + u • c where u = Dc
If Dc is singular along a critical line, then similar SOC waves shouldbe observed.
Will spinoidal decompositions create singular mass diffusivities?
Intermittency in ion channels?

What is going on microscopically?
How does helium develop the huge thermal conductance (> 10 W/(cmK)) necessary to self-organize at high Q? – Weichman and Miller, JLTP 119, 155 (2000):
• Q-induced vortex sheet shedding• Vortex production rate increases as Q decreases
– New experiments to measure vorticity creation– Experiments that sense second sound noise

How does He-II do this?
Synchronous phase slips – each slip creates a sheet of quantized vortices! See: Weichman and Miller, JLTP 119, 155 (2000):

Recent Results (Chatto et al.)
• Csoc has been measured and agrees with microgravity CP for 250 nK ≤ T – T ≤ 650 nK – Csoc agrees with static heat capacity from
