A number of interrelated areas of low temperature physics are
brought together in this volume. The four topics are presented as
separate chapters. First is the study of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism
for defect formation following quench cooling of superfluid 3He and
its relation to quantum field theory. Properties of heavy fermion
materials are described next with special attention to the
competition between magnetism and superconductivity. Some of the
newest correlated electron systems are discussed and the arguments
for possible unconventional nature of the superconducting order
parameter are presented for these systems, including the novel
coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity. Highly
polarized degenerate Fermi liquids are of substantial interest in
many areas of physics. The most complete description of
observations of thermodynamic and transport phenomena are reviewed
here for the case of polarized liquid 3He obtained by rapid melting
from a polarized solid and subsequent rapid refrigeration.
Properties of the melting curve of 3He, and the related technique
of melting curve thermometry are described in detail.
