Critical exponents z and ν for superfluid helium near absolute zero

ORAL

Abstract

We propose a new interpolation formula for the dynamic critical exponent z for the mixture of liquid He4 and He3 at low temperatures:
z=(d/2)+[(1+d)(1-SI)]/(2ν), TTC ≥0, α≤0,
SI =(TC/T)n , (1)
where d is the space dimension, n is some positive constant [1], ν is the critical exponent of the correlation length, α is the critical exponent of the heat capacity. In the case of TC=0 we have
z=d, ν=(1+d)/d, T→TC=0 . (2)
For d =3 we find
z=3, ν=4/3, T→TC=0 . (3)
This value of z is twice the usual result for TC>0.
New formulas (1) apply not only to positive critical temperatures but also to the limiting case TC →0, which realizes in a mixture of liquid helium isotopes. The results can be applied to the systems with multi-component order parameter, when the thermodynamic potential depends on the sum of the squares of the components. Examples include Heisenberg ferromagnets and systems undergoing quantum phase transitions.
