Helium condensation in aerogel: avalanches and disorder-induced phase transition
We present a detailed numerical study of the elementary condensation events (avalanches) associated to the adsorption of $^4$He in silica aerogels. We use a coarse-grained lattice-gas description and determine the nonequilibrium behavior of the adsorbed ...
