At the present work we propose a new method for studying the processes of thermodynamic equilibrium setting in the adsorbed 3He film in a porous media. By this method we have studied the thermalization of the adsorbed 3He on the silica aerogel surface at the temperature 1.5 K. The process of the thermodynamic equilibrium setting was controlled by measuring of the pressure in the experimental cell, the amplitude of the NMR signal and the time of the nuclear spin-spin and spin-lattice relaxation times of an adsorbed 3He. The thermodynamic equilibrium setting in the system adsorbed helium-3 - aerogel has the characteristic time 26 min.

It was found that two different spin states of the A-like phase can be obtained in aerogel sample. In one of these states we have observed the signal of the longitudinal NMR, while in another state no trace of such a signal was found. The states also have different properties in transverse NMR experiments. Longitudinal NMR signal was also observed in the B-like phase of 3He in aerogel.
We report on orientation of the order parameter in the 3He-A and 3He-B phases caused by aerogel anisotropy. In 3He-A we have observed relatively homogeneous NMR line with an anomalously large negative frequency shift. We can attribute this effect to an orientation of orbital momentum along the axis of density anisotropy. The similar orientation effect we have seen in 3He-B. We can measure the A-phase Leggett frequency, which shows the same energy gap suppression as in the B-phase. We observe a correlation of A - B transition temperature and NMR frequency shift.
We present results of experiments in superfluid phases of 3He confined in aerogel which strands are nearly parallel to one another. High temperature superfluid phases of 3He in this aerogel (ESP1 and ESP2) are chiral phases and have polar distorted ABM order parameter which orbital part forms 2D Larkin-Imry-Ma state. We demonstrate that this state can be anisotropic if the aerogel is squeezed in direction transverse to the strands. Values of this anisotropy in ESP1 and ESP2 phases are different, what leads to different NMR properties.
Superfluid 3He is an unconventional neutral superfluid in a p-wave state with three different superfluid phases each identified by a unique set of characteristic broken symmetries and non- trivial topology. Despite natural immunity of 3He from defects and impurity of any kind, it has been found that they can be artificially introduced with high porosity silica aerogel. Furthermore, it has been shown that this modified quantum liquid becomes a superfluid with remarkably sharp thermodynamic transitions from the normal state and between its various phases. They include new superfluid phases that are stabilized by anisotropy from uniform strain imposed on the silica aerogel framework and they include new phenomena in a new class of anisotropic aerogels consisting of nematically ordered alumina strands. The study of superfluid 3He in the presence of correlated, quenched disorder from aerogel, serves as a model for understanding the effect of impurities on the symmetry and topology of unconventional superconductors.
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the drag force acting on a high porosity aerogel immersed in liquid ${}^3$He and its effect on sound propagation. The drag force is characterized by the Knudsen number, which is defined as the ratio of the quasiparticle mean free path to the radius of an aerogel strand. Evidence of the Knudsen-hydrodynamic crossover is clearly demonstrated by a drastic change in the temperature dependence of ultrasound attenuation in 98% porosity aerogel. Our theoretical analysis shows that the frictional sound damping caused by the drag force is governed by distinct laws in the two regimes, providing excellent agreement with the experimental observation.
