Resumen
Este estudio utilizó la espectroscopia infrarroja para investigar las moléculas en las gotas de helio. Los resultados sugieren la primera evidencia de superfluidez en un líquido distinto del helio.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Fluidos y sólidos cuánticos.
- La espectroscopia es una técnica de espectroscopia.
- Física de bajas temperaturas Física de bajas temperaturas.
Sus antecedentes:
- La superfluidez es un fenómeno mecánico cuántico observado en el helio líquido.
- Comprender la superfluidez en otros sistemas puede revelar la física fundamental.
- Las gotas de helio proporcionan un entorno único para el estudio de los fenómenos cuánticos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el comportamiento de las moléculas de sulfuro de carbonilo (OCS) en helio-4 ((4) He) y gotas mixtas (4) He/(3) He.
- Para explorar la excitación del momento angular alrededor del eje OCS en diferentes ambientes de helio.
- Para proporcionar evidencia de superfluidez en un líquido más allá del helio.
Principales métodos:
- Se empleó la espectroscopia infrarroja para analizar las moléculas de OCS dopadas con para-hidrógeno (pH(2) o orto-deuterio (oD(2)).
- Los experimentos se llevaron a cabo en gotas de (4) He puras a 0,38 K y en gotas mixtas de (4) He/3) He a 0,15 K.
- Se monitorearon las características espectrales relacionadas con la excitación del momento angular.
Principales resultados:
- En las gotas de (4)He puras, las características espectrales indicaron el momento angular excitado tanto para pH(2) como para oD(2).
- En gotas más frías mezcladas (4)He/(3)He, estas características persistieron durante oD(2) pero desaparecieron para el pH(2).
- La desaparición de las características espectrales en el pH (((2) sugiere el cese de la excitación del momento angular.
Conclusiones:
- Los cambios observados en las características espectrales son consistentes con el inicio de la superfluidez en las gotas mixtas.
- Este estudio presenta la primera evidencia espectroscópica de superfluidez en un sistema líquido que no sea el helio.
- Los hallazgos abren nuevas vías para explorar los fenómenos cuánticos en nuevos entornos superfluidos.

Characteristics of Fluids
When a force is applied parallel to the top surface of a solid, it resists the applied force due to the internal frictional forces between the layers of the solid known as shearing resistance. However, when the force is removed, the shearing forces restore the original shape of the solid. Other deformation forces also cause temporary changes in shape if the forces are not beyond a threshold magnitude. Solids tend to retain their shape, making the study of their rest and motion easier. Beyond...
Accelerating Fluids
When a fluid is in constant acceleration, the pressure and buoyant force equations are modified. Suppose a beaker is placed in an elevator accelerating upward with a constant acceleration, a. In the beaker, assume there is a thin cylinder of height h with an infinitesimal cross-sectional area, ΔS.
The motion of the liquid within this infinitesimal cylinder is considered to obtain the pressure difference. Three vertical forces act on this liquid:

Rise of Liquid in a Capillary Tube
When very thin cylindrical tubes, called capillaries, are dipped in a liquid, the liquid rises or falls in the tube compared to the surrounding liquid. This phenomenon is called capillary action. Capillary action occurs due to the combination of two opposing forces: the cohesive forces of the liquid, which cause it to stick to itself and form a rounded shape, and the adhesive forces between the liquid and the walls of the container, which cause the liquid to be attracted to the container walls.
Characteristics of Fluids
Fluids differ from solids primarily in their molecular structure and stress response. Solids have tightly packed molecules with strong intermolecular forces, maintaining their shape and resisting deformation. In contrast, fluids have molecules spaced farther apart with weaker forces, allowing them to flow and deform easily.
Fluids, which include both liquids and gases, are substances that deform continuously under shearing stress. For example, water and oil are liquids with molecules that can...

Vapor Pressure of Fluid
The vapor pressure of a fluid is a crucial concept in fluid mechanics, influencing phenomena such as boiling and cavitation. Vapor pressure refers to the pressure exerted by a vapor at a state of thermodynamic equilibrium with its corresponding liquid phase at a specific temperature. It represents the tendency of molecules to escape from the fluid surface into the vapor phase.
When a liquid is placed in a closed container with a small air space, and the space is evacuated, vapor molecules will...

Capillarity in Fluid
Capillarity describes the movement of liquid in small spaces without external forces acting on it. The capillarity is driven by surface tension and adhesive interactions between the liquid and surrounding solid surfaces. This effect is often seen in narrow tubes, porous materials, and fine particles.
Surface tension is crucial to capillarity. It results from cohesive forces between liquid molecules at the liquid-air boundary, forming a skin that resists external forces. When the capillary tube...
