Abstract: | In an inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiment on3He-4He mixtures one observes, besides the photon-roton mode which is barely modified by the admixture of3He, an additional excitation at lower energies which is interpreted as quasi-particle-hole excitations of a nearly free Fermi gas. We reanalyse INS data ofx
3=1% and 4.5% mixtures at various pressures to extract the mean energy
of the fermions. In the momentum range 9<q<17 nm–1 (above 2k
F
)
follows very closely the relation

0.3 K), measurements were performed for temperatures in the range 0.07<T<0.9 K. We find bothA
2 andA
4 to be strongly temperature dependent. For the interpretation of thermodynamical properties, the single particle energy
k
is parametrized as
k
=o+1/(2ms*) ·k

3=0,p=0 andT=0, the density and concentration dependence of the inertial mass is in excellent agreement with values found by Sherlock and Edwards. The temperature dependence of the specific heat data from Greywall and Owers-Bradleyet al. are well represented by our model atT<0,5 K. |
