Drag Measurement on an Oscillating Sphere in Helium II
Here we report measurement of the drag on a 3 mm oscillating sphere in superfluid 4He in the temperature range 1.6 K to 2.1 K. A Nb-Ti superconducting solenoid is used to suspend a niobium sphere; meanwhile a sim...

Separation of Micron-Scale Particles by Size Using Helium II
Here we report on a new technique we are develo** to classify micron scale particles, i.e., separate them by size, using superfluid 4He (He II). The technique is based on the unique property of He II, that is i...
