Measurement of Anisotropy in the Dielectric Constant of 3He-A

Abstract

The first observation of anisotropy in the dielectric constant of superfluid 3He-A is reported. The measurement is made using parallel-plate capacitors immersed in 3He. A magnetic field is used to orient the anisotropy axis l-^. At TAB and 29 bars, the anisotropy is only εl-^⊥E→-εl-^∥E→=5×10^-11.
