Thermodynamic properties of spin-polarized 3He gas in the temperature range 1 mK–4 K from the quantum second virial coefficient

Amal F. Al-Maaitah, Ayman S. Sandouqa, B.R. Joudeh +1 more

The quantum second virial coefficient B[Formula: see text] of 3He[Formula: see text] gas is determined in the temperature range 0.001–4 K from the Beth–Uhlenbeck formula. The corresponding phase shifts are calculated from the Lippmann–Schwinger equation using a highly-accurate matrix-inversion technique. A positive B[Formula: see text] corresponds to an overall repulsive interaction; whereas a negative B[Formula: see text] represents an overall attractive interaction. It is found that in the low-energy limit, B[Formula: see text] tends to increase with increasing spin polarization. The compressibility Z is evaluated as another measure of nonideality of the system. Z becomes most significant at low temperatures and increases with polarization. From the pressure–temperature (P–T) behavior of 3He[Formula: see text] at low T, it is deduced that P decreases with increasing T below 8 mK.

Polarizing He-3 by Spin Exchange with Potassium

Guodong Wang

We present experimental studies on the spin-exchange optical pumping of 3He using alkali metal potassium vapor. High 3He polarizations are achieved using lower laser power than traditional rubidium-3He pumping studies. In addition, spin-exchange rate coefficient measurements for potassium-3He, rubidium-3He and cesium-3He pairs are reported. By spin-exchange optical pumping with potassium vapor, a high 3He polarization has been achieved in a mid-sized double-chamber glass target cell using only 5 watts of Ti:sapphire laser power. The spin-exchange rate coefficients of potassium-3He, cesium-3He and rubidium-3He pairs are measured and compared. The results are kSE = (4.0+/-0.3)E-20 cm3/sec for the potassium-3He pair, kSE = (6.5+/-0.4)E-20 cm3/sec for the rubidium-3He pair and kSE = (13.6 +/-1.3)E-20 cm3/sec for the cesium-3He pair. The results are consistent with theoretical predictions and confirm that the efficiency for spin-exchange polarization of 3He with potassium is significantly higher than with rubidium or cesium. The results motivate the development of high power diode lasers tuned to the appropriate potassium wavelengths. Applied to the production of polarized 3He as an atomic beam source for colliders, these developments could have significant impact on future studies of neutron spin structure. These studies may also have impact on magnetic resonance imaging using hyperpolarized 3He.
