Abstract:

The proximity effect of anisotropic p-wave Cooper pairs leaking from almost pure 3He superfluid phase to normal dilute 3He phase in contact is studied theoretically with use of a much simplified model. The amplitude of a p-wave like pair in the dilute phase appears to be, within the coherence length from the phase boundary, comparable to the pair amplitude in the concentrated phase.
