Compressed silica aerogels for the study of superfluid 3He
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We have performed Small Angle X‐ray Scattering (SAXS) on uniaxially strained aerogels and measured the strain‐induced structural anisotropy. We use a model to connect our SAXS results to anisotropy of the 3He quasiparticle mean free path in aerogel.
