Ho, T

It is shown here that superfluids (such as /sup 3/He-A and Bose-condensed spin-polarized hydrogen) whose order parameters transform like an angular momentum eigenstate Vertical Barj,mnot =0> will have similar superfluidity: similar Josephson and vorticity equations. In particular, if spin-polarized hydrogen condenses into the ''b'' state as currently believed, it will not have a stable superflow. Nonuniform magnetic fields can also induce in it a persistent current similar to that of /sup 3/He-A. .ID LX2107 .PG 1840 1844
