摘要
Longitudinal sound attenuation measurements in superfluid He-3 in 98% aerogel were conducted at pressures between 14 and 33 bar and in magnetic fields up to 0.444 T. The temperature dependence of the ultrasound attenuation in the A-like phase was determined for the entire superfluid region by exploiting the field-induced metastable A-like phase at the highest field. In lower fields, the A-B transition in aerogel was identified by a smooth jump in attenuation on both cooling and warming. Based on the transitions observed on warming, a phase diagram as a function of pressure (P), temperature (T), and magnetic field (B) is constructed. We find that the A-B phase boundary in aerogel recedes in a drastically different manner than in bulk in response to an increasing magnetic field. The implications of the observed phase diagram are discussed.
