Abstract

A scaled plot is presented of published sound attenuation and dispersion data of 3 He and 4 He along the critical isochore above Tc as a function of the reduced frequency ω * . Here ω * ≡ω/Γ with ω the frequency and Γ the order parameter relaxation rate, where the latter is determined from experimental transport and thermodynamic data. For a given isotope, the scaled data obtained at different frequencies lie on a single curve. These curves are different, however, for 3 He and 4 He. The resulting scaled plot is compared with recent predictions by Onuki, and by Folk and Moser. The crossover-term contribution in Γ from the background thermal conductivity data is compared with the form derived by Bhattacharjee and Ferrell. In the Appendix, the calculation of Γ for both 3 He and 4 He from experiments is described and discussed.
