| Research Abstract |
We measured the conductivity of the Wigner solid on normal-and superfluid helium-3 and gave a theoretical account. The Wigner solid is a two-dimensioanlcrystal of triangular lattice, which is accompanied with dimples under each lattiec site. When the dimple moves, it scatters quasiparticles in liquid helium-a3 and feels the frictional force. With calculating this force quantitatively, one can account for the behavior of the conductivity.
When temperature is high (>100mK), the scattering mean free path between quasiparticles is so short that the liquid behaves as if a classical viscous liquid. The viscosity of the Fermi liquid increases proportional to T^2, as temperature decreases, and hence the conductivity decreases. Decreasing temperature, the mean free path incereases longer than the lattice constant of the Wigner solid, so that the conductivity becomes no more sensitive to the temperature. Going further down to lower temperature, eventually helium-3 undergoes the superfluidity transition, which casses a change in the excitation spectrum of liquid helium-3. This change can naturally interplete the experimental observation.
The present research is restricted in the B-phase of superfluid helium-3. It is necessary to extend the present work to A-phase, which has an anisotropic energy gap.
