  4. Excitations, BEC, and Superfluidity Goals: Explore the interdependence of Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC), phonon-roton excitations, and superfluidity. Reveal origin of superfluidity in disorder and confinement. -BEC or well defined excitations. Neutron scattering studies of excitations of liquid 4He in confinement and disorder. Compare with measurements of superfluid density.

  5. Excitations, BEC, and Superfluidity Landau Theory: Superfluidity follows from existence of well defined phonon-roton modes. The P-R mode is the only mode in superfluid 4He. Bose-Einstein Condensation: Superfluidity follows from BEC. An extended condensate has a well defined magnitude and phase, <ψ> = √n0eιφ; vs~ grad φ Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC): Well defined phonon-roton modes follow from BEC. Single particle and P-R modes have the same energy when there is BEC. No low energy single particle modes.

  6. Bosons in Disorder Liquid 4He in aerogel, Vycor, gelsil (Geltech) Bose gases in traps with disordered potentials Josephson Junction Arrays Granular Metal Films Cooper Pairs in High Tc Superconductors Flux Lines in High TcSuperconductors Specific Present Goals: Impact of finite size (confinement) and disorder on excitations and Bose-Einstein condensation. Localization of Bose-Einstein Condensation by disorder Search for a Quantum Phase Transition Explore liquid helium at higher pressure Helium at negative pressure and on nanotubes (1D)

  7. Excitations, BEC, and Superfluidity • Organization of Talk • Bulk liquid 4He --review • Superfluid density, ρS • BEC condensate fraction, n0 • Phonon-roton excitations. • 2. Porous media – p ~ 0, T dependence • Review ρS , TC • Present phonon-roton data. • Evidence for localized BEC at temperatures above TC • 3. Porous media –high pressures, low T • Phonon-roton modes disappear at 37 bars and T ~ 0 K, evidence for a superfluid-normal transition at T ~ 0 K, a quantum phase transiton? Or just solidification.

  32. Phonons and Rotons (sharply defined modes) arise From Bose-Einstein Condensation Bogoliubov (1947) showed: Bose gas with BEC -- quasiparticles have energy: - phonon (sound) form Quasiparticle mode coincides with sound mode. Only one excitation when have BEC.

  33. Phonons and Rotons Arise From Bose-Einstein Condensation Gavoret and Nozières (1964) showed: Dense liquid with BEC – only one excitation: density and quasiparticle modes have the same energy, as in Bose gas. -- no other excitations at low energy (could have vortices). Ma and Woo (1967), Griffin and Cheung (1973), and others showed: Only a single mode at all Q with BEC -- the phonon-roton mode.

  35. Excitations, BEC, and Superfluidity Bulk Liquid 4He BEC, well-defined phonon-roton modes at Q > 0.8 Å-1 and superfluidity coincide. e.g., all have some “critical” temperature, Tλ = 2.17 K SVP Tλ = 1.76 K 25 bar

  37. Superfluidity Landau Theory Superfluidity follows from the nature of the excitations: that there are phonon-roton excitations only and no other low energy excitations to which superfluid can decay have a critical velocity and an energy gap (roton gap ). Via P-R excitations, superflow arises from BEC. BEC and Phase Coherence, Ø (r) Superfluidity follows directly from BEC, phase conherence .
