Abstract

Results of recent superfluid fraction measurements of a ³He-⁴He mixture in aerogel are reported. It is observed that for the mixtures at low and intermediate ³He concentrations the critical behavior of the superfluid transition is not different from that of pure ⁴He in aerogel. Evidence of phase separation between ³He and ⁴He inside the aerogel is found at low temperatures. The phase separation region, however, is detached from the superfluid transition line, thus removing the tricritical point and creating a miscible superfluid mixture that is rich in ³He.
