Two regions of helium separated by a connecting channel
1. Can regions be considered independently?2. If they couple (h, L) , how is their behavior modified?
3. Superconductors connected with a weak link4. Critical systems with region of weaker interactions5. Is coupling on the scale of the correlation length?6. What is the role of critical fluctuations?

Results from Perron et al. Nature Physics, 6, 499-502 (2010)
1. The super fluid onset for the film was significantly enhanced by the presence of helium in the boxes2. The specific heat of the film was also enhanced and shifted to a higher temperature3. The helium in the boxes—except near the region where the film ordered—showed no signs of box-to-box coupling4. Using finite-size scaling , it was deduced that , in a previous cell for boxes, we must have had a substantial contribution from box-to-box coupling

To do:1. Measure a uniform 32 nm film2. Move boxes closer to see if coupling among boxes is manifest

Summary and conclusions• Coupling in helium He-4 near T extends over distances orders of magnitude larger than the correlation length
• This cannot be understood in the context of mean field theory and must be due to the role of fluctuations near the critical point
• Helium in a heterogeneous confinement (powders and porous glasses) is more complex than expected, i.e. there is no ‘additivity’ in the thermodynamic response. There is a unique, non-universal response near T for each confined system.
• Other critical systems, where fluctuations are important should have similarly large coupling (superconductors, magnets, etc.)
• What has been termed “giant proximity” effects in cuprate superconductors may be a manifestation of the same physics we have observed.
