Phys. Rev. Lett. 29, 1227–1230 (1972)Interpretation of Recent Results on He3 below 3 mK: A New Liquid Phase?See Also: Erratum
See accompanying Physics Focus It is demonstrated that recent NMR results in 3He indicate that at 2.65 mK, the liquid makes a second-order transition to a phase in which the "spin-orbit" symmetry is spontaneously broken. The hypothesis that this phase is a BCS-type phase in which pairs form with l odd, S=1, Sz=±1 leads to reasonable agreement with both NMR and thermodynamic data, but involves some difficulties as to stability. © 1972 The American Physical Society URL:
