| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we study topological properties of superfluid 3He by performing experiments on Josephson effect, quasiparticle transport, and collective excitations. We have attempted to fabricate novel microslit structures on Si wafers with dimensions 1x100μm by dry etching, and make a microslab structures by ultrahigh precision machining. So far we have succeeded to fabricate 2x100μm slit structures and 1μm thick disk-shape geometry with 4nm flatness. We have also prepared an apparatus to detect Josephson and quasiparticle flow using SQUID based displacement sensor, a ultrasound cell to study collective modes, and a torsional oscillator to search for chiral edge current. These devices are installed on a PrNi5 nuclear demagnetization refrigerator, which has also been prepared in this work. Some preliminary experiments have already been performed and experiments with superfluid 3He get underway.
