Description
We investigate the properties of rotating 3He-A in the absence of a magnetic field. For fast rotating 3He-A (Ω>>Ω/sub c/1) we find a transition from the type-I lattice of nonsingular vortex textures discussed by Fujita et al. to a lattice of singular 2π vortex textures with polar cores at a rotation speed of Ω = (h/2m3)(3L/sub D/)-2approx. =32 rad/sec for Tapprox. =T/sub c/. A second transition to a lattice of singular vortices occurs at a much higher rotational speed Ωapprox. =10-1Ω/sub c2/. We also discuss ion mobility and sound attenuation in these vortex textures
