We studied superfluidity of liquid 4 He confined in an array of well-characterized straight nanopores of porous alumina (PA). The PA plate sample of 45 nm pore size is set in an annular flow channel and the superflow is detected by torsional oscillator (TO) technique. Superfluid transition Tc in the nanopores is suppressed by 3.5 mK from the bulk 位 point. Tc is consistent with the temperature at which the healing length is equal to the pore radius. We have observed many anti-crossing anomalies in the TO frequency associated with dissipation peaks, which are attributed to the coupling to second sound resonances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
