Thermal conductivity of spin-polarized liquid 3He

We present the first measurements of the thermal conductivity of spin-polarized normal liquid He-3. Using the rapid melting technique to produce nuclear polarizations up to 0.7, and a vibrating wire both as a heater and a thermometer, we show that, unlike the viscosity, the conductivity increases much less than predicted for s-wave scattering. We suggest that this might be due to a small probability for head-on collisions between quasiparticles.
