✦ Synopsis
In 3He-B it is possible to probe the unusual dynamics arising from the non-Newtonian dispersion relation of the excitations. Since the dispersion relation is tied to the rest frame of the condensate, it is distorted by condensate motion. A container of superfluid with a velocity gradient has a range of excitation dispersion curves, depending on velocity and thus the density of states available to the excitations varies with position. We show that, in consequence the behaviour of a moving object in the excitation gas shows unusual and often counter-intuitive behaviour. At low enough temperature, the force on a moving object becomes independent of velocity.

We are measuring the boundary between the superfluid A and B phases of 3He as a function of magnetic field and pressure. The results yield new information on Landau-Ginzburg parameters, microscopic quasiparticle scattering amplitudes, superfluid specific heats, and potentially other normal liquid pr
The structures of n soliton in superfluid 3He-B phase in slab geometry are studied. In the geometry, there are four degenerate equilibrium directions of the n vector, which allows the n soliton (domain wall) separating two domains with different directions of n. We get the structure of the soliton b
