Abstract
Measurements on spin relaxation time in superfluid were carried out at a pressure of 22.4 bar and a static field of 7.5 kG. The influence of surface coverage by was systematically explored. The coverage is used to eliminate the spin relaxation at the boundary walls and to extract the spin relaxation time in the warmer half of bulk phase. The bulk spin relaxation time is much shorter than expected from Leggett-Takagi theory applied to the phase. In the colder half of the phase, coverage anomalously has no effect on the spin relaxation time.
