helium. The oscillator frequencies increased at temperatures below 200 mK, an effect …

Evidence of supersolidity in rotating solid helium

H Choi, D Takahashi, K Kono, E Kim - Science, 2010 - science.org
Supersolidity, the appearance of zero-viscosity flow in solids, was first indicated in helium-4
torsional oscillator (TO) experiments. In this apparatus, the irrotationality of the superfluid …

[HTML][HTML] How solid is supersolid?

Interplay of Rotational, Relaxational, and Shear Dynamics in Solid 4He

EJ Pratt, B Hunt, V Gadagkar, M Yamashita, MJ Graf… - Science, 2011 - science.org
Using a high-sensitivity torsional oscillator (TO) technique, we mapped the rotational and
relaxational dynamics of solid helium-4 (4He) throughout the parameter range of the …

Unaffected nonclassical response of solid 4 He under elastic modulus variation

DY Kim, H Choi, W Choi, S Kwon, E Kim, HC Kim - Physical Review B …, 2011 - APS
The superflow in solid helium was detected by a decrease in the resonant period of a
torsional oscillator (TO) below 0.2 K. Recently, the shear modulus of solid helium has shown …

Staircaselike suppression of supersolidity under rotation

H Choi, D Takahashi, W Choi, K Kono, E Kim - Physical Review Letters, 2012 - APS
There are a number of distinct signatures of superfluids, one of which is the appearance of
quantized vortices. There have been some attempts to understand the putative supersolid …

Topological supersolidity of dipolar Fermi gases in a spin-dependent optical lattice

HY Wang, Z Zheng, L Zhuang, YH Tai… - Journal of Physics …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the topological supersolid states of dipolar Fermi gases trapped in a spin-
dependent 2D optical lattice. Our results show that topological supersolid states can be …

Quantum polyamorphism in compressed distinguishable helium-4

K Kinugawa, A Takemoto - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
We demonstrate that two amorphous solid states can exist in 4 He consisting of
distinguishable Boltzmann atoms under compressed conditions. The isothermal …

Frequency-dependent study of solid contained in a rigid double-torus torsional oscillator

J Choi, J Shin, E Kim - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
The rigid double-torus torsional oscillator (TO) is constructed to reduce any elastic effects
inherent to complicated TO structures, allowing explicit probing for a genuine supersolid …
