Measurement of the difference between the dynamic NMR and static susceptibilities of superfluid /sup 3/He-B using an rf-biased superconducting quantum-interference device

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The temperature-dependent susceptibility of superfluid /sup 3/He-B has been measured both statically and via a pulse technique in a field of 309 G using an rf-biased superconducting quantum-interference device (SQUID). In the pressure range 26.5 to 18 bar, the dynamic NMR susceptibility agrees qualitatively with the theoretical weak-coupling predictions for the Balian-Werthamer state. However, the static susceptibility, measured using the same rf-biased SQUID and detection system, is significantly smaller than the dynamic susceptibility.
