This study measured helium-3 atom diffusion in a cylindrical pore. The results align with theoretical models, providing a precise self-diffusion coefficient for helium-3.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Understanding atomic diffusion in confined spaces is crucial for various scientific fields.
  • Previous studies have explored diffusion in porous materials, but precise measurements in well-defined geometries are still needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the time-dependent diffusion of helium-3 atoms in a single, large cylindrical pore.
  • To characterize the transition from free diffusion to motionally averaged diffusion regimes.
  • To determine the self-diffusion coefficient of helium-3 under specific conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a steady gradient-recalled echo sequence in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements.
  • Studied helium-3 atom diffusion perpendicular to the pore axis.

  • Applied analytic solutions to the Bloch-Torrey equation with the gaussian phase approximation.

    • Main Results:

    • Measured the effective diffusion coefficient across different regimes.
    • Observed that the data are well-described by the gaussian phase approximation of the Bloch-Torrey equation.
    • Determined the self-diffusion coefficient of helium-3 to be 0.140(6) m²/s at 296 K and 1.00 Torr.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully characterized helium-3 diffusion in a cylindrical pore.
    • The employed NMR methods are effective for studying diffusion in confined systems.
    • The approach can be extended to investigate diffusion in more complex pore geometries.
