Stabilization of homogeneously precessing domains by large magnetic fields in superfluid 3He-B

Abstract:
We have studied the catastrophic relaxation in superfluid 3He-B as a function of magnetic field for a sample pressure of 31 bars. "Catastrophic relaxation" refers to a novel magnetic relaxation process which rapidly disrupts the homogeneous precession of nuclear spins in NMR experiments on the B phase. The catastrophe was observed through its effect on the evolution of a long-lived coherent dynamic state, the homogeneously precessing domain. Our measurements reveal that the onset of catastrophic relaxation is suppressed to lower temperatures by a strong magnetic field.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
