Beschreibungen/Notizen

• We present neutron inelastic-scattering measurements of the low-energy excitation spectrum of superfluid 4 He confined in porous xerogel glass. In addition to the bulk-like excitation, we also observe a broad peak centred at energies of less than that of the bulk-like peak. The dependence on filling fraction of both peaks has been investigated and we find that the second broad peak exhibits behaviour that is consistent with that of an excitation confined to the high-density liquid layers near the pore walls, i.e. with that of a two-dimensional excitation.
