Abstract

Continuous-wave NMR measurements were performed for liquid 3He in porous alumina with nominal pore size of 20 nm in diameter, at temperatures down to 0.3 mK. The signal is composed of two contributions: from the liquid and from the boundary solid layer of 3He on the alumina’s surface. The latter shows a well-known ferromagnetic tendency and signal intensities can be fitted to a Curie-Weiss law in the high temperature region. The obtained Weiss temperatures are 0.18 and 0.50 mK at 7.5 and 28 bar, respectively. 4He coverage (4 monolayers) completely eliminates boundary signal between 7.5 bar and 32.5 bar. The residual liquid signal shows frequency shift and broadening below superfluid transition temperatures depending on liquid pressures. The obtained P-T phase diagram well resembles that of bulk liquid 3He in spite of the very narrow pore-size comparable to the coherence length of superfluid 3He.
