Abstract: | We have investigated the dissipation (Q-1) using the torsion pendulum technique for pure 3He and 3He-4He mixtures in silica aerogel near the 3He superfluid transition (T(c)) in aerogel. With pure 3He the Q-1 decreases at the onset of superfluidity. When phase separated 3He-4He mixtures are introduced into the aerogel, the Q-1 does not decrease as rapidly and eventually increases for the highest 4He content. We provide a model for the related attenuation of transverse sound alpha that takes into account elastic and inelastic scattering processes and exhibits a decrease in alpha at T(c). |
