Superfluid fraction of (3)He-(4)He mixtures confined at 0.0483 microm between silicon wafers.
We report measurements of the superfluid fraction rho(s)/rho of films of (3)He-(4)He mixtures confined between silicon wafers at 0.0483 microm separation. The data obtained using adiabatic fountain resonance (AFR) can be used to test for the first time expectations of correlation-length scaling in the case of planar mixtures. For the mixtures, the data for rho(s)/rho collapse well on a universal function. The dissipation associated with AFR can also be scaled, and indicates two-dimensional crossover. These results are in contrast to pure (4)He, where over a wider range of confinements, the data for rho(s)/rho are found not to scale.
