Axial Phase of Quantum Fluids in Nanotubes

We explore the equations of state and other properties of various quantum fluids (3He, 4He, their mixtures, and H2) confined within individual carbon nanotubes. Above a threshold number of particles, Na, the fluid density near the axis begins to grow above a negligibly small value. The properties of...

Sumario:We explore the equations of state and other properties of various quantum fluids (3He, 4He, their mixtures, and H2) confined within individual carbon nanotubes. Above a threshold number of particles, Na, the fluid density near the axis begins to grow above a negligibly small value. The properties of this axial fluid phase are sensitive to the tube size and hence to the transverse compression in the case of a bundle of nanotubes. We consider He at zero temperature and H2 at low temperatures.
