The mobility of positive ions has been measured in the normal and superfluid 3 , , phases of He at several pressures. Below 100 mK the normal phase mobthty increases logarithmically with decreasing temperature down to the superfluid transition temperature T~; it shows an anomalous fump near 100 inK

โฆ Synopsis
We report the first measurements of negative ion motion in the superfluid phases of 3He and in the normal phase below 17 inK. Refrigeration was achieved with nuclear demagnetization of copper and we used a pulsed NMR platinum powder thermometer immersed in the liquid. In the A phase the longitudinal resonance frequency provided an additional high-resolution thermometer. In the normal phase we observed a strictly temperatureindependent mobility. In the superfluid phases we found two velocity regimes. For small applied electric fields the velocity is a linear function of the field and the corresponding mobility increases monotonically toward lower temperatures. At high electric fields the velocity is a nonlinear function of the field as a result of the pair-breaking effect of the moving ion. Available theoretical calculations are only in partial agreement with our results.

A thermometer based on the temperature dependence of the negative ion mobility in superfluid 3He is described. The device can be used for monitoring the temperature of an open geometry sample of 3He in the range 0.4 < T/Tc -< 1. The ion thermometer is most sensitive immediately below Tc, in the Ginz
We present a microscopic calculation of the electron-bubble radius and energy in liquid 3He at zero applied pressure. The two-particle distribution function is approximated as input by the radial distribution function of bulk 3He. The theoretical value of the radius at 14 ~ is about 30% below the ex
