Torsional oscillator experiments on solid 4He show frequency changes which suggest mass decoupling, but the onset is broad and is accompanied by a dissipation peak. We have measured the elastic shear modulus over a broad frequency range,…
We calculate the dislocation glide mobility in solid $^4$He within a model that assumes the existence of a superfluid field associated with dislocation lines. Prompted by the results of this mobility calculation, we study within this model…
In the experiment on superfluid transport in solid He4 [PRL {\bf 100}, 235301 (2008)], Ray and Hallock observed an {\it anomalously large isochoric compressibility}: the supersolid samples demonstrated a significant and apparently spatially…
We have investigated the influence of impurities on the possible supersolid transition by systematically enriching isotopically-pure 4He (< 1 ppb of 3He) with 3He. The onset of nonclassical rotational inertia is broadened and shifts…
Torsional oscillator experiments show evidence of mass decoupling in solid 4He. This decoupling is amplitude dependent, suggesting a critical velocity for supersolidity. We observe similar behavior in the elastic shear modulus. By measuring…
We study the elastic properties of incommensurate solid 4He in the limit of zero temperature. Specifically, we calculate the pressure dependence of the five elastic constants (C11, C12, C13, C33, and C44), longitudinal and transversal…
The nonasymptotic critical behavior of sound attenuation coefficient has been studied in an elastically isotropic Ising system above the critical point on the basis of a complete stochastic model including both spin-energy and…
In this paper, we study the propagation and stability of nonlinear sound waves in accretion disks. Using the shearing box approximation, we derive the form of these waves using a semi-analytic approach and go on to study their stability.…
The classical motion of gliding dislocation lines in slip planes of crystalline solid helium leads to plastic deformation even at temperatures far below the Debye temperature and can affect elastic properties. In this work we argue that the…
Using first-principle simulations for the probability density of finding a 3He atom in the vicinity of the screw dislocation in solid 4He, we determine the binding energy to the dislocation nucleus E_B = 0.8 \pm 0.1 K and the density of…
We have carried out torsional oscillator experiments on solid $^4$He at temperatures between 1.3K and 1.9K. We discovered phenomena similar to those observed at temperatures below 0.2K, which currently are under debate regarding their…
We carried out quartz crystal microbalance experiments of a 5 MHz AT-cut crystal for superfluid 4He films on Grafoil (exfoliated graphite) with a small amount of 3He up to 0.40 atoms/nm2. We found that the mass decoupling from oscillating…
The breakdown of Hooke's law marks the onset of nonlinear behaviour: when displacements become large, restoring forces weaken and conventional proportionality fails. In quantum materials, intense optical excitation can drive the crystal…
Connectedness and applied stress strongly affect elasticity in solids. In various amorphous solids, mechanical stability can be lost either by reducing connectedness or by increasing pressure. We present an effective medium theory of…
The dynamics of 3He atoms in solid 4He have been investigated by measuring the NMR relaxation times T1, T2 in the region where a significant non-classical rotational inertia fraction (NCRIF) has been reported. For 3He concentrations x3 = 16…
In recent years there has been renewed interest in the behavior of dislocations in crystals that exhibit strong atomic scale disorder, as typical of compositionally complex single phase alloys. The behavior of dislocations in such crystals…
The temperature dependence of the ultrasound wave absorption in bulk $p$-Cd$_{0.2}$Hg$_{0.8}$Te crystals free from low-angle grain boundaries has been studied experimentally for the first time in the frequency range 10--55 MHz and the…
Superfluidity, liquid flow without friction, is familiar in helium. The first evidence for "supersolidity", its analogue in quantum solids, came from recent torsional oscillator (TO) measurements involving 4-He. At temperatures below 200…
The current interest in compositionally complex alloys including so called high entropy alloys has caused renewed interest in the general problem of solute hardening. It has been suggested that this problem can be addressed by treating the…
We have investigated the non-classical response of solid 4He confined in porous gold set to torsional oscillation. When solid helium is grown rapidly, nearly 7% of the solid helium appears to be decoupled from the oscillation below about…
