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.

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 have measured the temperature dependence of the time of flight of helium excimer molecules He2* in superfluid 4He and find that the molecules behave ballistically below 100mK and exhibit Brownian motion above 200 mK. In the intermediate temperatur
e range the transport cannot be described by either of the models.
We study the spectral properties of the thermal force giving rise to the Brownian motion of a continuous mechanical system -- namely, a nanomechanical beam resonator -- in a viscous liquid. To this end, we perform two separate sets of experiments. Fi
rst, we measure the power spectral density (PSD) of the position fluctuations of the resonator around its fundamental mode at its center. Then, we measure the frequency-dependent linear response of the resonator, again at its center, by driving it with a harmonic force that couples well to the fundamental mode. These two measurements allow us to determine the PSD of the Brownian force noise acting on the structure in its fundamental mode. The PSD of the force noise extracted from multiple resonators spanning a broad frequency range displays a colored spectrum. Using a single-mode theory, we show that, around the fundamental resonances of the resonators, the PSD of the force noise follows the dissipation of a blade oscillating in a viscous liquid -- by virtue of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem.
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 defect
s 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.
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.
