Compressed Silica Aerogels for the Study of Superfluid 3He
arXiv:cond-mat/0606702 · doi:10.1063/1.2354681
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.
