In a modern viewpoint relativistic quantum field theory is an emergent phenomenon arising
in the low-energy corner of the physical fermionic vacuum–the medium, whose nature …

TOPOLOGICAL defects formed during a rapid symmetry-breaking phase transition in the
early Universe1, 2 could be responsible for seeding large-scale structure, for the anisotropy …

A KEY component of a continuum-mechanical description of a sand pile (viewed as an
assembly of hard particles in frictional contact) is the requirement of stress continuity—the …

The first realization of instabilities in the shear flow between two superfluids is examined.
The interface separating the A and B phases of superfluid H 3 e is magnetically stabilized …

Rapid new developments have occurred in superfluid hydrodynamics since the discovery of
a host of unusual phenomena which arise from the diverse structure and dynamics of …

The formation and dynamics of topological defects of different structure has been of central
interest in the study of the 3 He superfluids. Compared to superfluid 4 He-II, the variability of …

We report the observation of vortex formation upon the absorption of a thermal neutron in a
rotating container of superfluid $^ 3$ He-B. The nuclear reaction n+ $^ 3$ He= p+ $^ 3$ H+ …

The paper is concerned with the interpretation of many experiments that have been reported
recently on the production of quantum turbulence by oscillating spheres, wires and grids in …

Destroying superfluidity is a fundamental process and in fermionic superfluid such as He 3-B
it splits Cooper pairs into thermal excitations, quasiparticles. At the lowest temperatures, a …

We have measured the critical velocity υ c at which 3 He− A in a rotating cylinder becomes
unstable against the formation of quantized vortex lines with continuous (singularity-free) …
