Excitations, Bose-EinsteinCondensation and Superfluidity in Liquid 4He Henry R. Glyde Department of Physics & Astronomy University of Delaware CAP Annual Congress Charlottetown June 2003
Goals • Neutron scattering studies of excitations of quantum liquids in disorder. • phonons and rotons in disorder • new excitations in disorder • Reveal the interdependence of Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC), phonon-roton excitations, and superfluidity. • Compare bulk liquid 4He and 4He in porous media (confinement and disorder).

Superfluid Properties in Confinement/Disorder Confinement reduces Tc below . Confinement modifies (T dependence). Confinement reduces (magnitude). Porous media is a “laboratory” to investigate the relation between superfluidity, excitations, and BEC. Measure corresponding excitations and condensate fraction, no(T). (new, 1995)

Phonons and Rotons Arise From Bose-Einstein Condensation Bogoliubov (1947) showed: Bose gas with BEC -- quasiparticles have energy: - phonon (sound) form Quasiparticle mode coincides with sound mode. Only one excitation when have BEC.
Phonons and Rotons Arise From Bose-Einstein Condensation Gavoret and Nozières (1964) showed: Dense liquid with BEC – only one excitation: density and quasiparticle modes have the same energy, At low Q, as in Bose gas. No other excitations at low energy (could have vortices). Ma and Woo (1967), Griffin and Cheung (1973), and others showed: Only a single mode at all Q with BEC -- the phonon-roton mode.
Superfluidity Landau Theory Superfluidity follows from the nature of the excitations: that there are phonon-roton excitations only and no other low energy excitations to which superfluid can decay have a critical velocity and an energy gap (roton gap ). Via P-R excitations, superflow arises from BEC. BEC and Phase Coherence, Ø (r) Superfluidity follows directly from BEC, phase conherence .

Excitations, BEC, and Superfluidity Liquid 4He in disorder BEC, well-defined excitations and separated from superfluidity in disorder e.g., Tc - superfluidity Tc(BEC) - Bose-Einstein condensation Tc(BEC) > Tc Disorder localizes the condensate. New Here Measurements of phonon-roton excitations and BEC in disorder
BEC in Disorder Both no and reduced by static disorder (homogeneous). Huang & Meng, PR 1992 dilute gas limit, analytic Astraljparehik, et al., preprint (2002) fluid densities, Monte Carlo reduced more than no Could have localized BEC. As T is reduced, BEC forms first in favorable regions, in pockets. Superflow occurs at a lower T when regions grow and connect to have phase coherence across the entire sample.
