New Dissipation Relaxation Phenomenon in Oscillating Solid He-4

Other Condensed Matter 2009-11-13 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We describe the first observations on the time-dependent dissipation when the drive level of a torsional oscillator containing solid He-4 is abruptly changed. The relaxation of dissipation in solid He-4 shows rich dynamical behavior including exponential and logarithmic time-dependent decays, hysteresis, and memory effects.
