- Abstract:
We present a free energy functional for superfluid 3He in the presence of homogeneously
distributed impurity disorder which extends the Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional to all
temperatures. We use the new free energy functional to calculate the thermodynamic potential, entropy,
heat capacity and density of states for the B-phase of superfluid 3He in homogeneous,
isotropic aerogel.
