Spin waves in the B-phase of superfluid ³He in confined cylindrical geometry

We describe experiments on superfluid ³He in a cylinder of 1 mm in diameter. This geometry causes the preferred
 orientation of the n-vector in the superfluid B-phase to be locally different, resulting in a curved configuration
 across the sample. Exclusive to our experiment is the o...

description We describe experiments on superfluid ³He in a cylinder of 1 mm in diameter. This geometry causes the preferred
 orientation of the n-vector in the superfluid B-phase to be locally different, resulting in a curved configuration
 across the sample. Exclusive to our experiment is the observation that we succeeded in obtaining a texture
 which is metastable and unchanged in our pressure and temperature ranges, most likely because the experiment
 is performed at low pressures and low magnetic fields. As this texture can be considered as a potential for spin
 waves, we had the unique opportunity to study spin waves for several pressures in exactly the same texture. Our
 geometry causes this texture potential to be nearly quadratic, allowing an analytic solution of the theory which
 can be compared to our experimental results. As predicted we find the intensities of all spin wave modes more or
 less equal. Increasing the pressure shows a gradual increase in the number of spin wave modes in our cell. Finally
 we were able to cause a transition from the metastable to the predicted stable texture, concluding unexpectedly
 that the metastable texture is realized if the growing (or cooling) speed is sufficiently slow.
