Rapid Transport of Glassy Supersolid Helium in Wavy-Rough Nanpores


Abstract in English

We show that the presumed wavy roughness distributed along the wall of different nanopores (radius : a around 3.5 nm for Vycor or a silica glass; around 245 nm for porous gold) will induce larger volume flow rates of solid helium (of which there is a minimum) which might explain reported experimental differences of the supersolid fractions observed so far.
