The magnetic community continues to discuss the possibility to observe the magnetic superfluidity, despite the fact that it has been discovered long time ago. It was observed in antiferromagnetic states of superfluid $^3$He in 1984. In this article we reminds the main principles of spin superfluidity and related Bose-Einstain magnon condensation. We discuss applications of this phenomenon in supermagnonic devises.
In this letter we report the first direct observation of gap-less Majorana QPs which appear as Andreev bound states on the surface of superfluid $^3$He-B. We made the precise measurements of superfluid 3He-B heat capacity at the limit of extremely low temperatures. We have separated the heat capacity of bulk Bogolyubov QPs and the surface Majorana QPs by its different temperature dependence. We have found that at 0.11 mK the Majorana fermions constitute half of the bolometer heat capacity under the conditions of our experiments.
The Majorana fermion: fermion that is its own antiparticle, was predicted by Majorana in 1937. No fundamental particles are known to be Majorana fermions, although there are speculations that the neutrino is one. Many proposed theories assumes that the mysterious 'dark matter', which forms the greatest part of the universe, is composed of Majorana fermions. Even Majorana does not yet observed as a stable particle, its can be also exist as a quasiparticle in the edge of topological isolators. Here we reports the Dark Matter bolometer time constant deviation which is the result of additional Majorana heat capacity.
