Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we planned to observe the quantum vortices and the vortex lattices generated in the anisotropic superfluid 3He-A phase under rotation. We aimed to study the structure and dissipation mechanism of the quantum vortices. In this study, we constructed a rotary dilution refrigerator measurement system, and achieved the condition that it could be operated as a dilution refrigerator under one rotation per second. The lowest temperature reached without rotation was about 9 mK, the circulating amount of 3He-4He mixed gas was 200 μmol/s, and the freezing capacity was 100 μW at 100 mK. Although the minimum temperature rises under rotation, around 13 mK, and it has been confirmed that it can be used as a nuclear adiabatic demagnetization cooling refrigerator. Moreover, the preliminary experiment of the second sound wave measurement for rotary refrigerator evaluation was done, and the temperature dependence of the sound velocity and the attenuation coefficient could be obtained.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

高磁場超低温回転冷凍機へ向けた回転冷凍機の完成は未だ解明されていない超流動ヘリウム3における渦のダイナミックスの研究の大きな足がかりとなる。超流動ヘリウム3の渦のダイナミックスの理解が進めば、量子流体全体の統一的な理解へとつながると期待される。これにより、自然を構成する物質の理解をより一層深めていくことにつながる。
