单词 | superfluidity |
释义 | superfluidityn. Physics. The property of flowing without viscosity or friction which, with other exceptional properties, is exhibited by the isotopes of liquid helium below certain temperatures; an analogous property of other collections of particles (as the electrons in a superconductor) that exhibit quantum effects on a macroscopic scale.

B. G. Casimir in W. Pauli Niels Bohr & Devel. Physics 131 The Bose-Einstein gas is the only model known at present that leads to macroscopic wave functions at finite temperatures and the super-fluidity of liquid helium has almost certainly something to do with this model. 1975 Rev. Mod. Physics 47 430/1 Observation of fourth sound [in 3He] proves the existence of superfluidity. 1976 Sci. Amer. Dec. 56/1 Under the name of superconductivity, superfluidity is also displayed by the conduction electrons in a great many metals and alloys. 2006 New Scientist 10 June 34/3 Stir a vat of superfluid and you'll produce an array of vortices: the superfluidity breaks down within each vortex, but everywhere else the fluid remains still.
