We report measurements of elastic moduli of hcp solid $^4$He down to 15 mK when the samples are rotated unidirectionally. Recent investigations have revealed that the elastic behavior of solid $^4$He is dominated by gliding of dislocations and pinning of them by $^3$He impurities, which move in the solid like Bloch waves (impuritons). Motivated by the recent controversy of torsional oscillator studies, we have preformed direct measurements of shear and Youngs moduli of annular solid $^4$He using pairs of quarter-circle shape piezoelectric transducers (PZTs) while the whole apparatus is rotated with angular velocity $Omega$ up to 4 rad/s. We have found that shear modulus $mu$ is suppressed by rotation below 80 mK, when shear strain applied by PZT exceeds a critical value, above which $mu$ decreases because the shear strain unbinds dislocations from $^3$He impurities. The rotation - induced decrement of $mu$ at $Omega = 4$ rad/s is about 14.7 (12.3) % of the total change of temperature dependent $mu$ for solid samples of pressure 3.6 (5.4) MPa. The decrements indicate that the probability of pinning of $^3$He on dislocation segment, $G$, decreases by several orders of magnitude. We propose that the motion of $^3$He impuritons under rotation becomes strongly anisotropic by the Coriolis force, resulting a decrease in $G$ for dislocation lines aligning parallel to the rotation axis.

We have measured the response of a torsional oscillator containing polycrystalline hcp solid $^{4}$He to applied steady rotation in an attempt to verify the observations of several other groups that were initially interpreted as evidence for macrosco
pic quantum effects. The geometry of the cell was that of a simple annulus, with a fill line of relatively narrow diameter in the centre of the torsion rod. Varying the angular velocity of rotation up to 2,rad,s$^{-1}$ showed that there were no step-like features in the resonant frequency or dissipation of the oscillator and no history dependence, even though we achieved the sensitivity required to detect the various effects seen in earlier experiments on other rotating cryostats. All small changes during rotation were consistent with those occurring with an empty cell. We thus observed no effects on the samples of solid $^4$He attributable to steady rotation.
The non-classical rotational inertia fraction of the identical cylindrical solid $^4$He below 300 mK is studied at 496 and 1173 Hz by a double resonance torsional oscillator. Below 35 mK, the fraction is the same at sufficiently low rim velocities. A
bove 35 mK, the fraction is greater for the higher than the lower mode. The dissipation peak of the lower mode occurs at a temperature $sim$ 4 mK lower than that of the higher mode. The drive dependence of the two modes shows that the reduction of the fraction is characterized by critical velocity, textit{not} amplitude nor acceleration.
We describe the first observations on the time-dependent dissipation when the drive level of a torsional oscillator containing solid He-4 is abruptly changed. The relaxation of dissipation in solid He-4 shows rich dynamical behavior including exponen
tial and logarithmic time-dependent decays, hysteresis, and memory effects.
The low temperature phase diagram of $^4$He adsorbed on a single graphene sheet is studied by computer simulation of a system comprising nearly thousand helium atoms. In the first layer, two commensurate solid phases are observed, with fillings 1/3 a
nd 7/16 respectively, separated by a domain wall phase, as well as an incommensurate crystal at higher coverage. No evidence of a thermodynamically stable superfliuid phase is found for the first adlayer. Second layer promotion occurs at a coverage of 0.111(4) $AA^{-2}$. In the second layer two phases are observed, namely a superfluid and an incommensurate solid, with no commensurate solid intervening between these two phases. The computed phase diagram closely resembles that predicted for helium on graphite.
We show that, at high densities, fully variational solutions of solid-like type can be obtained from a density functional formalism originally designed for liquid 4He. Motivated by this finding, we propose an extension of the method that accurately d
escribes the solid phase and the freezing transition of liquid 4He at zero temperature. The density profile of the interface between liquid and the (0001) surface of the 4He crystal is also investigated, and its surface energy evaluated. The interfacial tension is found to be in semiquantitative agreement with experiments and with other microscopic calculations. This opens the possibility to use unbiased DF methods to study highly non-homogeneous systems, like 4He interacting with strongly attractive impurities/substrates, or the nucleation of the solid phase in the metastable liquid.
