The enigma of supersolidity

S Balibar - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
A'supersolid'is a quantum solid in which a fraction of the mass is superfluid. As a remarkable
consequence, it is rigid, but part of its mass is able to flow owing to quantum physical …

Supersolidity and disorder

S Balibar, F Caupin - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
A solid is called'supersolid'if it exhibits superfluid properties. Supersolidity is a paradoxical
phenomenon whose understanding has become a major challenge since 2004, when Kim …

Overview on Solid 4He and the Issue of Supersolidity

MHW Chan, RB Hallock, L Reatto - Journal of Low Temperature Physics, 2013 - Springer
Here we provide an overview of the status of the field of solid 4 He with a focus on the recent
theoretical and experimental activities stimulated by the 2004 experiments of Kim and Chan …

Evidence for a Superglass State in Solid 4He

B Hunt, E Pratt, V Gadagkar, M Yamashita, AV Balatsky… - Science, 2009 - science.org
Although solid helium-4 (4He) may be a supersolid, it also exhibits many phenomena
unexpected in that context. We studied relaxation dynamics in the resonance frequency f (T) …

Frequency dependence and dissipation in the dynamics of solid helium

O Syshchenko, J Day, J Beamish - Physical Review Letters, 2010 - APS
Torsional oscillator experiments on solid He 4 show frequency changes which suggest mass
decoupling, but the onset is broad and is accompanied by a dissipation peak. We have …

Nonsuperfluid Origin of the Nonclassical Rotational Inertia in a Bulk Sample of Solid

JD Reppy - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
The torsional oscillator experiments described here examine the effect of disorder on the
nonclassical rotational inertia (NCRI) of a solid He 4 sample. The NCRI increases with …

Intrinsic and dislocation-induced elastic behavior of solid helium

J Day, O Syshchenko, J Beamish - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2009 - APS
Recent experiments showed that the shear modulus of solid H 4 e stiffens in the same
temperature range (below 200 mK) where mass decoupling and supersolidity have been …

Effect of elasticity on torsional oscillator experiments probing the possible supersolidity of helium

HJ Maris - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2012 - APS
We consider the effect of elasticity on torsional oscillator experiments to investigate the
possible supersolidity of helium. We show that in most, and possibly all torsional oscillators …

[HTML][HTML] How solid is supersolid?

AB Kuklov, NV Prokof'ev, BV Svistunov - Physics, 2011 - APS
Macroscopic quantum properties of helium-4, one of the simplest and oldest elements in the
universe, continue to puzzle and amaze scientists. Supertransport in solid helium-4 is the …
