Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

In this talk, I will try to answer two questions about physics: First, how important is each subfield and second, how does a specific subfield influence other subfields? We modify the well-known open-system Leontief Input-Output Analysis in economics into a closed-system analysis focusing on eigenvalues and eigenvectors and the effects of removing one subfield. We apply this method to the...

Recent experiments by Hallock and coworkers [1] observed mass transport through solid ${}^4$He and suggested it was due to flow along dislocation lines. In those measurements, helium was injected and removed through Vycor “electrodes” filled with superfluid ${}^4$He. Here, we report the results of a related experiment: a Vycor rod filled with superfluid ${}^4$He is sandwiched between two bulk solid...
