Abstract

Continuous wave NMR experiments have been performed in the B-like phase of He-3 in a 98% open aerogel. The results allow us to get information about the texture of the He-3 order parameter inside the aerogel. We conclude that in the B-like phase the boundary between the bulk He-3 and the aerogel orients the vector of orbital anisotropy (L) parallel to it. Two stable textures and textural transition between them were observed in our sample.
