At low temperatures, the variable-range hopping conductivity prevails. At temperatures below 0.3 K, a gigantic negative magneto-resistance (up to 100%) is observed. The temperature dependence of resistance and magneto-resistance shows that localization behavior near the mobility edge exists. To explain experimental results, we adopt a phenomenological model based on variable-range hopping below the mobility edge. We also use a scaling theory of localization with a localization length depending on the mobility edge loca-tion. 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The extremely low kinematic viscosity of liquid helium allows us to achieve high Reynolds numbers in small laboratory apparatus. Our results agree with those using classical fluids, showing the utility of

This paper describes the construction and operation of the apparatus in some detail. A wide range of Reynolds numbers is an advantage in any experiment seeking to establish scaling laws. This experiment also adds to evidence already in hand that the normal phase of liquid helium is a Navier–Stokes fluid. Finally, we explore recent questions concerning the influence of molecular motions on the transition to turbulence (Muriel 1998) and are unable to observe any influence.

Measurements of the velocity of surface sound and of the surface tension indicate that, for concentrations of 3He corresponding to a small fraction of a monolayer, the interaction is very weak and predominantly repulsive. This is unfavorable for a low-temperature super-fluid condensation.

This effect is very sensitive to temperature. At T≪0.3 K , the magnetoresistance is negative, and its magnitude increases with decreasing temperature. At 0.03 K , the resistance strongly decreases (up to 100 times) when the magnetic field is increased from 0 to 1 T and then saturates in higher fields. We discuss the mechanisms of this phenomenon and present results of calculations involving the hopping theory of conductivity with localization corrections.

Efficient recovery of 3He can be achieved with the use of a single-shot cryopump, or a dipstick. Simply connecting a dipstick filled with ac-tivated charcoal at liquid helium temperatures to a source of 3He, 62 cm3 of 3He can be collected for every cm3 of volume in the dipstick. Improving the design of the dipstick will increase the amount of 3He collected. I

The results show no marked feature at homega = 2..delta..(T). However, there is a marked reduction in the slope of dc/dT upon passing from the A-phase into the Al-phase. 2 references.
