NMR relaxation time in superfluid $sup 3$He

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett., v. 35, no. 7, pp. 471-473
OSTI ID:4159023
The temperature dependence of the NMR relaxation time introduced by Combescot and Ebisawa, tau), is studied from the microscopic theory. It diverges like (1-T/T/subc/)$sup -1$$/$$sup 2$ near T/subc/, in agreement with Leggett and Takagi's prediction. At low temperature, it grows like 1/T$sup 4$ in the A phase (except at extremely low temperature where it grows like 1/T$sup 5$) and like T$sup -1$$/$$sup 2$e/sup Delta//subT in the B phase.
