Surface Specific Heat of $^{3}$He and Andreev Bound States

Superconductivity 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

High resolution measurements of the specific heat of liquid 3^{3}He in the presence of a silver surface have been performed at temperatures near the superfluid transition in the pressure range of 1 to 29 bar. The surface contribution to the heat capacity is identified with Andreev bound states of 3^{3}He quasiparticles that have a range of half a coherence length.
