Low Temperature studies of collective behavior of liquid and solid 3He, mixtures of 3He in 4He, and 4He films are proposed. The work will be conducted in a variety of experimental environments including temperatures well below 1 mK, magnetic fields greater than 7 T, and even liquid under rotation. The general purpose of the work is to gain a deeper understanding of the nature of phase transitions and collective quantum mechanics behavior in matter.
