Description

Neutron scattering measurements of the fundamental excitations of liquid He4 confined in 44 A pore diameter gelsil glass at pressures up to 40 bars in the wave vector range 0.41.6 A-1, especially the rotons, are observed up to complete solidification of all the liquid at a pressure of ∼40 bars where the roton vanishes. At and above a pressure of 35.1 bars, Bragg peaks are observed, indicating coexistence of liquid and solid in the pores at pressures 35 < or approx. P < or approx. 40 bars
