Special Issue: Helium‐3 and Helium‐4

Russell J. Donnelly

The Surface of Crystalline Helium‐4

Humphrey J. Maris and Aleksander F. Andreev
OpenURL
Show Topic
A solid that one can produce by simply applying pressure to liquid helium‐4 is an excellent medium for studying the appearance of facets, the kinetics of crystal growth and other fundamental problems of surface physics.

Novel Magnetic Properties of Solid Helium‐3

Michael C. Cross and Douglas D. Osheroff
OpenURL
Show Topic
At low densities solid helium exhibits two distinct magnetically ordered phases that are easily accessible with present technology; studies of these systems are enhancing our understanding of nuclear magnetism and atomic exchange in quantum solids.

Electrons and Ions at the Helium Surface

Arnold J. Dahm and W. F. Vinen
OpenURL
Show Topic
Two‐dimensional arrays of charged particles exhibit plasma oscillations and phase transitions such as crystallization and melting in the low‐density classical limit, but their high‐density quantum regime remains to be explored.

Quantized Vortices in Superfluid Helium‐4

William I. Glaberson and Klaus W. Schwarz
OpenURL
Show Topic
Singular whirlpools give rise to such diverse phenomena as superfluid turbulence, two‐dimensional phase transitions and quantum nucleation.

Vortices in Rotating Superfluid He3

Pertti Hakonen and Olli V. Lounasmaa
OpenURL
Show Topic
Completely novel continuous vortices in He3‐A and spontaneously magnetized singular vortices in He3‐B are just two of the many interesting peculiarities of rotating superfluid He3.
