| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study is motivated by the understanding of the origin of the anomaly of physical properties of solid 4He below 200 mK, which is fully explained by whether dislocation kinetics or not. In order to elucidate the contribution of the dislocation kinetics, we employed two methods: (i) the finite element method (FEM) analysis, (ii) direct observation of the elastic moduli under DC rotation in which a property of solid 4He shows a quantization behavior. FEM analysis clearly shows the change in stiffness induced by dislocation kinetics plays an important role to understanding the previous experiment reported by other groups. The elastic moduli measurements under DC rotation, however, shows that the elastic moduli are not affected by DC rotation. In conclusion, the dislocation kinetics does not fully explain the anomaly of Solid 4He at low temperature.
