Abstract

We report results of experiments with superfluid He3 confined in aerogels with parallel strands which lead to anisotropic scattering of He3 quasiparticles. We vary boundary conditions for the scattering by covering the strands with different numbers of atomic He4 layers and observe that the superfluid phase diagram and the nature of superfluid phases strongly depend on the coverage. We assume the main reason for these phenomena is a magnetic channel of the scattering which becomes important at low coverages and can be essential in other Fermi systems with triplet pairing.
