Abstract

In the temperature range between 1 mK and 3 mK and in magnetic fields between 0 T and 1 T, there are four distinct phases of liquid 3He and three distinct phases of solid 3He. The liquid becomes a triplet superfluid and the solid becomes a nuclear antiferromagnet. Despite the great differences which exist between a superfluid and an antiferromagnet, there are remarkable similarities between phase diagrams of the two systems.
