Note: These lectures in this section refer
to the book by Cottingham and Greenwood. We will be using Das and
Ferbel this quarter, F2005. The lectures are left here in the event
they might be useful to you.

Lecture
1 Note on
superfluidity in 3He and 4He. This is to clarify the discussion in
class about fermions/bosons
and superfluids. Helium 4 in the Helium II state ( partially superfluid
) is used as a cryogenic coolant in accelerator magnets. It has a high
thermal conductivity and can flow with very little viscosity. It does
not have an infinite heat capacity.
