- Additional information
- In this paper we observe evidence for a new spatially modulated phase exploiting our ability to confine superfluid helium 3 into engineered nanofluidic cavities and observe NMR signals using a sensitive SQUID based spectrometer. The ability to engineer new phases through our control of the environment creates new possibilities for devices based on interfaces between different quantum phases.
