Nonhydrodynamic spin transport in superfluidHe3

Abstract: We report the observation of two kinds of novel nonhydrodynamic spin-transport phenomena of quasiparticles in superfluid 3 He-Z?. We find a drastic low-temperature depression of the transverse quasiparticle spin-diffusion coefficient. In addition, we have done the first measurements of the Leggett-Takagi spin-relaxation time far outside the hydrodynamic regime. The observations of spin diffusion are shown to be in quantitative agreement with a kinetic-equation approach to quasiparticle spin dynamics.

“…The central property of the spin transport in this regime [21,22,23,24] is the Leggett-Rice effect associated with the existence of the Landau molecular field. As a result, the effective spin diffusion coefficient D acquires a fast temperature dependence similar to the damping of the oscillating object, D ∝ exp(−∆/k B T ) (see appendix).…”

“…Values extracted from the measurements in Fig. 4 at Imin = 0.25 A (red circles) and from similar measurements at P = 15.5 bar and Imin = 2 A (blue circles) are compared to the theoretical prediction [17] (lines) and to the measurements at higher temperatures [10] (squares). Note that the measurements are done at different frequencies while, according to the theory, D is approximately inversely proportional to fL [17].…”

“…If part of the sample is not involved in the precession, it is separated from the HPD by a relatively thin boundary where the tipping angle of magnetization rapidly changes. In the absence of pumping the HPD decays owing to the Leggett-Takagi relaxation originating from the coupling of spins of the normal and superfluid components, and owing to the spin diffusion through the boundary [10]. Additionally, at temperatures below about 0.4T c the HPD experiences highly accelerated decay known as "catastrophic relaxation" owing to the Suhl type instability [11].…”
