Crossover behavior in 3He and Xe near their liquid-vapor critical point

Year: 2000

Type: article

Abstract: We present a detailed discussion of the crossover from mean-field to Ising critical behavior upon approach of the critical point, both for 3He and Xe. By combining different sets of experimental data, we are able to cover an unusually large temperature range on either side of the critical temperature T(c). Below T(c), we thus can make an accurate comparison with a recent calculation for the crossover of the coexistence curve. For the regime above T(c), an analysis of the compressibility demonstrates that the crossover regime in 3He is unexpectedly widened by a subtle interplay between quantum and critical fluctuations.
