Thermal resistance between liquid 3He and copper potassium tutton salt

Description

The thermal resistance between liquid 3He and copper potassium tutton salt (CPS) has been measured through its magnetic ordering temperature (T/sub c/ = 29.6 mK). The thermal resistance R for pure 3He has a broad minimum near 60 mK and increases continuously through T/sub c/ with decreasing temperature, except for a dip at T/sub c/. Below T/sub c/, R is proportional to T/sup -1.5/. Effects of 4He coating have been studied by stepwise addition of 4Me into liquid 3He. The thermal resistance increased drastically for the liquid containing 150 ppm4Me and more for 95% 4He. By sudden depressurization of the liquid 3He containing 480 ppm 4He, a considerable decrease of R was observed. Since R for pure 3He was much smaller than the calculated Kapitza resistance, the present experimental results indicate the existence of surface magnetic coupling between liquid 3He and CPS
