An early study of saturated 4He film flow instability is revisited in view of recent theoretical work by Hiromitsu Takeuchi et al. (arXiv:0909.2144v1 [cond-mat.quant-gas] Sept. 2009). I show additional data that suggests a qualitative agreement with this theory and discuss the experimental details.

It is known that the apparent film flow rate $j_0$ of superfluid $^4$He increases significantly when the container wall is contaminated by a thin layer of solid air. However, its microscopic mechanism has not yet been clarified enough. We have measur
ed $j_0$ under largely different conditions for the container wall in terms of surface area (0.77-6.15 m$^2$) and surface morphology using silver fine powders (particle size: $0.10$ mu m) and porous glass (pore size: 0.5, 1 mu m). We could increase $j_0$ by more than two orders of magnitude compared to non-treated smooth glass walls, where liquid helium flows down from the bottom of container as a continuous stream rather than discrete drips. By modeling the surface morphology, we estimated the effective perimeter of container $L_{mathrm{eff}}$ and calculated the flow rate $j~(= j_0L_0/L_{mathrm{eff}})$, where $L_0$ is the apparent perimeter without considering the microscopic surface structures. The resultant $j$ values for the various containers are constant each other within a factor of four, suggesting that the enhancement of $L_{mathrm{eff}}$ plays a major role to change $j_0$ to such a huge extent and that the superfluid critical velocity, $v_{mathrm{c}}$, does not change appreciably. The measured temperature dependence of $j$ revealed that $v_{mathrm{c}}$ values in our experiments are determined by the vortex depinning model of Schwarz (Phys. Rev. B $textbf{31}$, 5782 (1986)) with several nm size pinning sites.
The changes that vacancies produce in the properties of hcp solid 4He are studied by means of quantum Monte Carlo methods. Our results show that the introduction of vacancies produces significant changes in the behavior of solid 4He, even when the va
cancy concentration is very small. We show that there is an onset temperature where the properties of incommensurate 4He change significantly. Below this temperature, we observe the emergence of off-diagonal long range order and a complete spatial delocalization of the vacancies. This temperature is quite close to the temperature where non-classical rotational inertia has been experimentally observed. Finally, we report results on the influence of vacancies in the elastic properties of hcp 4He at zero temperature.
We study a complex plasma under microgravity conditions that is first stabilized with an oscillating electric field. Once the stabilization is stopped, the so-called heartbeat instability develops. We study how the kinetic energy spectrum changes dur
ing and after the onset of the instability and compare with the double cascade predicted by Kraichnan and Leith for two-dimensional turbulence. The onset of the instability manifests clearly in the ratio of the reduced rates of cascade of energy and enstrophy and in the power-law exponents of the energy spectra.
In this work we perform an ab-initio study of an ideal two-dimensional sample of 4He atoms, a model for 4He films adsorbed on several kinds of substrates. Starting from a realistic hamiltonian we face the microscopic study of the excitation phonon-ro
ton spectrum of the system at zero temperature. Our approach relies on Path Integral Ground State Monte Carlo projection methods, allowing to evaluate exactly the dynamical density correlation functions in imaginary time, and this gives access to the dynamical structure factor of the system S(q,omega), containing information about the excitation spectrum E(q), resulting in sharp peaks in S(q,omega). The actual evaluation of S(q,omega) requires the inversion of the Laplace transform in ill-posed conditions, which we face via the Genetic Inversion via Falsification of Theories technique. We explore the full density range from the region of spinodal decomposition to the freezing density, i.e. 0.0321 A^-2 - 0.0658 A^-2. In particular we follow the density dependence of the excitation spectrum, focusing on the low wave--vector behavior of E(q), the roton dispersion, the strength of single quasi--particle peak, Z(q), and the static density response function, chi(q). As the density increases, the dispersion E(q) at low wave--vector changes from a super-linear (anomalous dispersion) trend to a sub-linear (normal dispersion) one, anticipating the crystallization of the system; at the same time the maxon-roton structure, which is barely visible at low density, becomes well developed at high densities and the roton wave vector has a strong density dependence. Connection is made with recent inelastic neutron scattering results from highly ordered silica nanopores partially filled with 4He.
In recent torsional oscillator experiments by Kim and Chan (KC), a decrease of rotational inertia has been observed in solid 4He in porous materials and in a bulk annular channel. This observation strongly suggests the existence of non-classical rota
tional inertia (NCRI), i.e. superflow, in solid 4He. In order to study such a possible supersolid phase, we perform torsional oscillator experiments for cylindrical solid 4He samples. We have observed decreases of rotational inertia below 200 mK for two solid samples (pressures P = 4.1 and 3.0 MPa). The observed NCRI fraction at 70 mK is 0.14 %, which is about 1/3 of the fraction observed in the annulus by KC. Our observation is the first experimental confirmation of the possible supersolid finding by KC.
