Helium impurity nanocluster gels in superfluid helium

Rapid cooling of a helium impurity gas mixture to the superfluid helium temperatures allows us to prepare an impurity-helium condensate with jelly-like structure (impurity gel) in superfluid He-II. It is clear that the properties of these gels should be substantially different from those of a bulk impurity substance, constituting a new class of soft matter — quantum gel, where superfluid He-II filling the nanopores between the randomly connected impurity nanoclusters serves as the dispersion medium of the gel.
