The first measurements on vortices in rotating superfluid $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ have been conducted the Low Temperature Laboratory at Helsinki University of Technology during past five years. These experiments revealed unique vortex phenomena that are not observed any other known superfluids. In this review, concept broken symmetry is applied to investigate quantized lines $^{3}\mathrm{He}$. $A$ phase, vorticity can be supported by a continuous winding order parameter; gives rise "coreless" with...

We show that the topologically protected flat band emerging on a surface of nodal fermionic system promotes superconductivity due to an infinitely large density states associated with band. The critical temperature depends linearly pairing interaction and can be thus considerably higher than exponentially small bulk temperature. discuss example in multilayered graphene rhombohedral stacking.

The quantum tunneling processes related to the black hole determine thermodynamics. Hawking temperature is determined by of radiation particles from hole. On other hand, Bekenstein–Hawking entropy obtained consideration macroscopic splitting smaller holes. These also composition rule for entropy, which coincides with non-extensive Tsallis–Cirto δ = 2 entropy. This suggests that mass spectrum equidistant, M NM 0 .

Rotating superfluid $^{3}\mathrm{He}$-$B$ is found to possess a new contribution the NMR frequency shift, which changes sign on reversal of either angular velocity rotation or magnetic field. For $p=29.3$ bars this gyromagnetic effect shows discontinuity in magnitude at first-order phase-transition temperature $\frac{T}{{T}_{c}}=0.6$, change vortex-core structure takes place. These observations support conclusion that vortex core possesses spontaneous intrinsic magnetization.

It is shown that there may exist five axisymmetric vortices in $^{3}\mathrm{He}$-$B$, different their internal symmetries. The Landau theory for phase transitions between them constructed. Numerical calculations show one of the observed possesses a novel new structure: superfluid core, which ferromagnetic. This explains measured large magnetic moment vortex.

This paper reports the discovery of a new breaking symmetry quantized vortex lines in superfluid $^{3}\mathit{B}$: Vortices with broken axisymmetry are found energetically more favorable than any axisymmetric ones weak-coupling limit. Based on our extensive numerical minimization free-energy functional, we identify vortices occurring rotating $^{3}\mathit{B}$ at low pressures as v having---in addition to space parity P---also Q nonaxisymmetry quantum number...

One of the most sought-after objects in topological quantum-matter systems is a vortex carrying half quantum circulation. They were originally predicted to exist superfluid He3−A but have never been resolved there. Here we report an observation half-quantum vortices (HQVs) polar phase He3. The are created with rotation or by Kibble-Zurek mechanism and identified based on their nuclear magnetic resonance signature. This discovery provides pathway for studies unpaired Majorana modes bound HQV...

We consider the Z2 topology of Dirac lines, i.e., lines band contacts, on an example graphite. Four lines—three with topological charge each and one —merge together near H-point annihilate due to summation law . The merging point is similar real-space nexus, analog monopole at which strings terminate.

We discuss the consequences of unique symmetry de Sitter spacetime. This leads to specific thermodynamic properties vacuum, which produces a thermal bath for matter. spacetime is invariant under modified translations, r→r−eHta, where H Hubble parameter. For H→0, this corresponds conventional invariance Minkowski translations r→r−a. Due symmetry, all comoving observers at any point space perceive environment as with temperature T=H/π, twice large Gibbons–Hawking cosmological horizon. does not...

The first realization of instabilities in the shear flow between two superfluids is examined. interface separating A and B phases superfluid 3He magnetically stabilized. With uniform rotation we create a state with discontinuous tangential velocities at interface, supported by difference quantized vorticity phases. This remains stable nondissipative to high relative velocities, but finally undergoes an instability when interfacial mode excited some vortices cross phase boundary. measured...
