Superflow-Stabilized Nonlinear NMR in Rotating 3He-B
Abstract
Nonlinear spin precession has been observed in 3He-B in large counterflow of the normal and superfluid fractions. The new precessing state is stabilized at high rf excitation level and displays frequency-locked precession over a large range of frequency shifts, with the magnetization at its equilibrium value. Comparison to analytical and numerical calculation indicates that in this state the orbital angular momentum L of the Cooper pairs is oriented transverse to the external magnetic field in a ``non-Leggett'' configuration with broken spin-orbit coupling. The resonance shift depends on the tipping angle theta of the magnetization as omega - omegaL = (OmegaB2 / 2 omegaL)(cos(theta) - 1/5). The phase diagram of the precessing modes with arbitrary orientation of L is constructed.
