Abstract

Read online

Superfluid 3He under confinement can be used as a model system for topological quantum matter, but few related measurements are reported. Here, the authors report on the thermal conduction of helium-3 in a micro-fabricated channel with unanticipated effects in both the normal and superfluid states.
