Spatial dependence of the order parameter of superfluid /sup 3/He at the A-B phase boundary

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Accurate solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations describing the A-B phase boundary for a planar interface between /sup 3/He-A and /sup 3/He-B are calculated near the tricritical pressure and classified in terms of simple discrete symmetries. The order-parameter components of the A-B phase boundary and the interfacial energy sigma/sub AB/(T) deviate considerably from previous variational calculations.
