INTRODUCTION
A unique feature of the chiral phase of superfluid 3 He, predicted early on by Anderson and Morel (AM), is that the this
fluid should possess a macroscopic ground-state angular momentum, L = Lz l,16 where l is the chiral axis along which the
Cooper pairs have angular momentum h . Ground state currents and angular momentum are signatures of broken timereversal and parity (BTRP) derived from the orbital motion of
the Cooper pairs in 3 He-A. In this article we discuss signatures
of BTRP generated by the structure of electrons embedded in
superfluid 3 He-A. An electron forms a void, a bubble, in liquid 3 He-A that disturbs the chiral ground state.7 We show that
multiple scattering of Bogoliubov quasiparticles off the electron bubble leads to the formation of chiral Fermions bound
to the electron bubble, and to a ground state angular momentum and mass current circulating each electron bubble. Indeed
the electron bubble provides a mesocopic realization of chiral
edge currents in superfluid 3 He-A. A main result of the work
reported here is our formulation of transport theory for negative ions that correctly accounts for the chiral symmetry of superfluid 3 He-A. This allows us to show that the chiral structure
of the electron bubble in 3 He-A provides a quantitative theory
for the anomalous Hall effect reported by Ikegami et al.8,9 We
start with a brief introduction intended to make the connection
between ground state currents, angular momentum, and chiral
edge states in 3 He-A, with the structure of electron bubbles in
3 He-A.
The angular momentum of bulk 3 He-A has so far not been
measured, perhaps in part because of variations in the literature on the magnitute of Lz (c.f. Ref. [10] and references therein). McClure and Takagi (MT) obtained the result, Lz = (N/2) h , for N atoms confined in a trap of volume V
with cylindrical symmetry and condensed into a chiral p-wave

ity of the ground state Cooper pairs, and with magnitude given
by Nhole = n R2 w, the number of 3 He atoms excluded by the
hole of radius R and thickness w. Nature provides us with such
a hole in the form of an electron bubble to reveal the BTRP
of 3 He-A, and to probe the spectrum of chiral edge states, the
mass current circulating the electron bubble, and the effect of
the chiral edge states on the tranport properties of the electron
bubble in 3 He-A.
We begin with the structure of the electron bubble in the
normal Fermi liquid phase of 3 He in Sec. (II). The normalstate t-matrix and scattering phase shifts for quasiparticles
scattering off the electron bubble are central to understanding the properties of the electron bubble in superfluid 3 HeA. In Sec. (III) we develop scattering theory to calculate the
spectrum of chiral Fermions bound to the electron bubble in
3 He-A. We present results for the mass current and orbital angular momentum obtained from the Fermionic spectrum. The
momentum and energy resolved differential cross section for
the scattering of Bogoliubov quasiparticles is developed in
Sec. (IV), and used to calculate the forces on electron bubbles
moving in the chiral phase of superfluid 3 He. We present new
theoretical predictions and analysis for the drag force on electron bubbles in 3 He-A, and particularly the transverse force responsible for the anomalous Hall current of electron bubbles
in superfluid 3 He-A. In Sec. (V) we present the quantitative
comparison of our theory with the measurements of the drag
force and anomalous Hall effect reported by Ikegami et al.8,9
Our analysis establishes that the observation of the anomalous
Hall effect for negative ions is not only a signature of BTRP,
but a signature of chiral Fermions circulating the electron bubble.
We point out that previous theories for the mobility of ions
in superfluid 3 He-A start from an implicit assumption of mirror symmetry in the formulation of the transport cross-section
for scattering of quasiparticles off the electron bubble. Specifically, in Sec. (IV B) and App. (A) we discuss our theory in relation to the earlier theoretical works of Salomaa et al.22 and
Salmelin et al.,23,24 and point out that these earlier theoretical
works give zero Hall mobility (Ref. [24]), or report a spurious
Hall mobility that is an artefact of an error in evaluating the
kinematics for the scattering of quasiparticles off the ion. As
a result, the theory reported in Refs. [23 and 24] not only pre-

we obtain k f R = 11.17, smaller than the bubble radius determined by the surface tension and zero-point kinetic energy of
the electron. For scattering of quasiparticles off the electron
bubble this is the relevant measure of the size of the electron
bubble.36 In what follows we develop the theory for the structure of the electron bubble in chiral superfluid 3 He-A based on
multiple scattering of Bogoliubov quasiparticles off the electron ion.

that p = ih, 1 is the unit matrix in spin space, and x is
the Pauli matrix describing equal-spin pairing state (ESP) of

Note that t1m (u0 , u) is the scattering amplitude for quasiparticle excitations with angular momentum projection m, while
t4m (u0 , u) is the corresponding quasi-hole amplitude. Branch
conversion scattering, generated by the anomalous propaga ), is given by the amplitudes t m (u0 , u) (hole
tor, FR (k,
2
particle) and t3m (u0 , u) (particle hole). Multiple scattering couples these amplitudes in pairs, {t1m ,t3m } and {t2m ,t4m }
as indicated in Eqs. (25-26) and Eqs. (27-28). The sets of
equations are solved numerically. In Sec. (IV) the solution to
the t-matrix is used to calculate the differential cross-section
for the scattering of Bogoliubov quasiparticles off the electron
bubble, and from that the forces on electron bubbles moving
in response to an external electric field.
C.
We first use the t-matrix to calculate the spectrum of chiral Fermions bound to the electron bubble. The asymmetry
in the spectrum with respect to the orbital quantum number is
responsible for the ground state current and angular momentum bound to the electron bubble. The spectral function for
the Nambu Greens function determines the local density of
states,

where the trace is over both particle-hole and spin space, and

an electron bubble. It is convenient to express GbSR (r0 , r; E) in

For energies |E| E f we can evaluate the t-matrix and propagators in the quasiclassical approximation and obtain an explicit expression for the local density of states (LDOS).
Figure (3) shows the local density of states calculated at
the position, r = 30 k1
and = /2, i.e. approximately

19 Fermi wavelengths from the surface of the electron bubble. The bulk density of states is shown as the dashed line.
A van Hove singularity occurs at the maximum gap in the
bulk excitation spectrum, while the low-energy spectrum results from the nodal quasiparticles near = 0, . Multiple scattering, both potential and branch conversion, by the
ion and the chiral order parameter generates Andreev bound
states indexed by the angular momentum channel, m, and linear momentum, pz = p f cos . The bound states are broadened into low-energy bands by integration over pz , and then
into resonances by hybridization with the continuum of nodal
quasiparticles. There are lmax k f R 12 sub-gap resonances
shown in Fig. (3).
More detailed spectral information is obtained by resolving the LDOS in angular momentum channels. The reduction
of the t-matrix as a sum over amplitudes with well defined
angular momentum projection implies a similar chiral decomposition of the LDOS,

k l. Thus, an electron bubble will experience a stronger
drag force for v|| l compared to v l, i.e. || < . Indeed the anisotropy of the negative ion mobility was calculated by extending the scattering theory for the B-phase by
Baym et al.37 to scattering by an ion in 3 He-A,22,49 and measurements of the mobility anisotropy, || were made via
pulse-shape, time-of-flight experiments on vortex textures of
superfluid 3 He-A.50 Note that the drag force on the electron
bubble is insensitive to the direction of the chiral axis, i.e. the
drag force for +E||l and E||l are the same.
The chiral axis is a reflection of broken time-reversal symmetry (T) and broken mirror symmetry () in a plane containing the chiral axis l. The generalization of the mobility for
the isotropic B-phase to 3 He-A with chiral axis l||z is a mobility tensor, i j with i, j {x, y.z}; thus, vi = i j E j , where
the components are all real. Uniaxial rotation symmetry restricts the elements of the mobility tensor to xx = yy ,
zz || , and xy = yx ; all other components vanish. Thus,
the electron mobility tensor for 3 He-A has the form
i j = (i j lil j ) + ||lil j + xy i jk lk .
(51)
The off-diagonal component, xy , is allowed by axial rotation symmetry and chiral symmetry, C = T , but vanishes
if the ground is separately invariant under mirror symmetry,
, in a plane containing the chiral axis l. This would be the
case for a Planar phase of 3 He, which is degenerate in weakcoupling theory with the A-phase, has the same anisotropic
excitation gap, and thus, is indistinguishable from 3 He-A in
terms of || and . What distinguishes the A-phase is that
neither T nor are symmetries. The breaking of both T and
allows for xy 6= 0, and thus transverse motion of the electron
bubble for E l, i.e. an anomalous Hall current of electron
bubbles given by
vAH = xy E l .
(52)
More generally, for any field orientation, the steady state ion
velocity is given by
v = l (E l) + || (l E) l + xy E l .
(53)
This steady state result for the velocity arises from the balance between the Coulomb force, FE = eE, and the quasi

We formulate the microscopic theory for the forces acting on a moving electron bubble due to scattering by thermal
quasiparticles in the chiral A phase of 3 He. The key assumptions are (i) that the velocity of the electron bubble is sufficiently low that the resulting Stokes tensor, i j , is independent
of the electron velocity, (ii) the recoil energy of the ion is sufficiently low, rec kB T , that it is a good approximation to
consider quasiparticle-ion scattering in the elastic limit, (iii)
the ground state is described by the ESP chiral A phase order
parameter in Eq. (11) and (iv) the only input parameters to the
theory are the normal state scattering phase shifts constrained
by the normal state mobility [Eq. (9) and Fig. (2)].
Our analysis is close to that of Baym et al. for the ion mobility in 3 He-B,37,51 except that we incorporate broken timereversal and mirror symmetries of the chiral ground state into
the theory of the transport cross-section for scattering of Bogoliubov quasiparticles off the electron bubble embedded in
3 He-A. Earlier theoretical analyses of the electron mobility
in 3 He-A included the ansisotropy of the excitation spectrum,
but imposed mirror symmetry in the formulation of the scattering of Bogoliubov quasiparticles off the ion embedded in
3 He-A.2224 See App. (A) for our critique of earlier work.
In what follows we derive results for the scattering cross
section and forces on a negative ion moving in superfluid 3 HeA driven by a static electric field. We start from the equation
of motion for the momentum of the ion,
dP
= h (k0 k)(1 fk0 ) fk v (k0 , k) ,
dt
k,k0
(55)
k2 + |(k)|2 is
the bulk
excitation energy.
To linearize Eq. (55) in the ion velocity we follow Baym
et al.52 and observe that if the distribution of quasiparticles
were in thermal equilibrium and co-moving with the electron
bubble, then the initial and final state distribution functions
would be Doppler-shifted Fermi-Dirac distributions,
fk = fk (Ek h k v) .

A key point is that the phase space factors for allowed transitions - the terms in square brackets - are already linear in the
ion velocity v. Thus, we evaluate the transition rate, v , in
the static limit, v (k0 , k) (k0 , k), with the latter given by
Fermis golden rule,

where W (k0 , k) is the transition rate for Bogoliubov quasiparticles, defined by the Bogoliubov-Nambu spinors in Eqs. (12)13, scattering off the electron bubble,

The result for the scattering rate for Bogoliubov quasiparticles is a sum over the possible elastic scattering events between Bogoliubov particle-like (1) and hole-like (2) branches
of the excitation spectrum: 1 1, 2 1, 1 2, and 2 2.

If the ground state in which the ion is embedded were timereversal and mirror symmetric we could use the microscopic
reversibility condition, W (k0 , k) = W (k, k0 ). This is the case
for the B-phase of 3 He, which also has a rotational invariant

in agreement with the result for the mobility obtained for 3 HeB by Baym et al.37 In the limit 0 this result reduces to the
mobility of normal 3 He given by Eq. (3).
The theory for the mobility of 3 He-B was extended by Salomaa et al. to calculate the mobility tensor 3 He-A.22 These
12
second line of Eq. (61) reduces to (k0 k)W (k0 , k) (k0 k)
v. The resulting momentum transfer to the ion by quasiparticle scattering is then given by a symmetric Stokes tensor, and
thus there is no transverse force on the moving ion. Indeed
in Ref. [22] the uniaxial anisotropy of the mobility tensor was
calculated, but no anomalous Hall term was reported.
Existence of a transverse force acting on an electron bubble
moving in 3 He-A was argued on physical grounds by Salmelin
et al.23 based on the prediction of currents circulating an impurity in superfluid 3 He-A,7 and the analogy with the Magnus effect arising from the hydrodynamic lift force on a rotating sphere moving through a fluid.53 The authors dubbed the
transverse force on a moving ion in 3 He-A an intrinsic Magnus effect, and they focused their discussion on the limit of
a small object such as an electron bubble with radius R 0 ,
small in comparison to the size of the Cooper pairs in 3 He-A.
Although the basic picture motivating the existence of a
transverse force on electron bubbles moving through a chiral superfluid is sound, the microscopic theory outlined in
Ref. [23], and published in detail by Salmelin and Salomaa
in Ref. [24], is fundamentally flawed. These authors impose
mirror symmetry in their calculation of the scattering amplitude for momentum transfer from the distribution of quasiparticles to the moving ion by adopting the microscopic reversibility condition W (k0 , k) = W (k, k0 ). This equality gaurantees, within scattering theory, that there is no transverse
force on the electron bubble. As a consequence the theoretical results and prediction for the transverse Hall mobility in
Refs. [23 and 24] are spurious. We include a more detailed
critique of this work in App. (A).
In the following section we show that it is precisely the

odd under E E. This implies that the transverse force
originates from the chiral part of the spectrum, which is a reflection of branch conversion scattering between particle-like
and hole-like excitations by the chiral order parameter.

In Fig. (8) we show results for the differential cross section defined in Eqs. (64) and (66) for in-plane scattering,
i.e. both incident, k, and scattered, k0 , wavevectors in the
xy-plane. In particular, for an incoming quasiparticle with
k = ex ( = /2, = 0) the symmetric part of the angular
(+)
distribution, d (+) /dk0 , contributing to i j (E) is shown
in panel (a), and the asymmetry in the angular distribution,
d () /dk0 , of the scattered excitations is shown in panel (b)
as a function of the azimuthal scattering angle = 0 .
Note that d () /dk0 changes sign across the lines = 0
and = , and determines the anti-symmetric, transverse
()
cross section, i j (E). The total differential cross-section is
shown in Fig. (8c) in comparison with that for quasiparticleion scattering in the normal state. There is strong reduction
in backscattering in the superfluid state compared to that in
the normal state, as well as the sharp angular dependences associated with resonant scattering from the spectrum of chiral Fermions bound to the ion, evident in the angular momentum resolved density of states shown in Fig. (4). Resonant scattering of quasiparticles by the spectrum of chiral Fermions bound to the electron bubble is also evident
()
in the energy-resolved transport cross-sections, xy (E) and
(+)
xx (E), shown in Fig (9) normalized by the normal state
transport cross section.
One can clearly see the peak-dip structure at energies below the maximum gap . These structures are due to resonant
scattering from chiral Fermions bound to the surface of the
electron bubble. There is a resonance for each angular momentum channel m. The chiral Fermions form as a result of
multiple potential and Andreev scattering of quasiparticles off
the electron bubble and the chiral order parameter in which it
is embedded. This multiple scattering and bound state formation is encoded in the t-matrix equations of Eqs. (25) - (28).

The factor 1/k f R accounts for the relative size of the transverse and longitudinal transport cross-sections at E shown
in Fig. (9), and also accounts for the order of magnitude reduction in the ratio xy /xx shown in Fig. (10) at T /Tc 0.8.
Note that the transport cross sections, xx (E) and xy (E),
were both defined by scaling out the dimensional factors of
p f in the kinematics. Thus, xy (E) ' phf R xx (E) at E .
The spectral average, hxy (E)i near Tc generates the additional factor of (/kB Tc )2 . Although the transverse force is
roughly an order of magnitude smaller than the drag force, it
leads to a dramatic effect on the dynamics of the negative ion.

A key feature of the scattering rate is the dependence on the azimuthal angles for the incident and outgoing momenta only in the
combination ( 0 ). This greatly simplifies the calculation of the transport cross sections [see Eqs. (67)-(68)], since any other
combination of 0 and gives zero contribution after integration over incident and final state momenta. This allows us to show

The propagator for bulk A-phase [Eq. (16)] gives zero current
density, and thus zero angular momentum density, when evaluated in the quasiclassical limit with particle-hole symmetry of the
normal-state spectrum. This is consistent with earlier calculations
for the bulk angular momentum density for uniform superfluid
3 He-A, c.f. Ref. 11.

This result is at odds with the GL theory result of Rainer and
Vuorio,7 who found the circulating currents generated by an impurity in 3 He-A, but with zero net angular momentum. Their GL
calculation for the current and angular momentum is restricted to
the asymptotic region, r 0 , where we find the current density
is 4 5 orders of magnitude smaller than that in the mesoscopic
region R < r . 0 .

The force ratio estimate given in Eq. (70) was obtained by
Vladimir Mineev based on hydrodynamic scaling in the Knudsen and GL limits (private communication). Our analysis gives
the same result, and is based on our scattering theory formulation
for potential scattering and branch conversion scattering.
The actual discrepancy is more severe. The theory of Salmelin et
al. in Refs. [23 and 24], when evaluated properly, predicts zero
