This ordering is characterized by the order parameter
gauge symmetry is broken
At KT 1~ liquid 3He is a normal Fermi liquid, it
can became superfluid via Cooper pairing at lower temperatures.
KT 17.2At 4He becomes superfluid.

Singlet Cooper pairing S=0, l=0
l= 0,2,4…
S=0, l=0 s-wave, or conventional Cooper pairing. It is realized in most of superconductors: Hg, Pb, Sn, Al, etc.. The order parameter is a one-component complex function:
ie|| only gauge symmetry is broken.
S=0

Triplet Cooper pairing (unconventional)
S=1 l=1,3,5…
The order parameter is multi-component:
zyx ,, . Each of the three components is a function
of direction in the momentum space.
Except for the gauge symmetry other symmetries arebroken as well.

Unconventional superconductors:
UPt3, UGe2, Sr2RuO4, high-Tc, etc.
Additional complications: anisotropy, complicated Fermi-surfaces, impurities.
3He – canonical unconventional superfluid: spherical Fermi-surface, well known Fermi-liquid parameters, no impurities.
All floating impurities stick to the walls of a container.

Self-supporting structure – high porosity silica aerogel.
Aerogels with the porosity up to 99.5% can be made.
Mostly used with the porosity close to 98%
Porosity P=(empty volume/total volume)

Conclusions
1. It is possible to introduce impurities in the superfluid 3He.
2. Effect of impurities depends on correlation of their positions.
3. One can expect effects, analogous to discussed here in unconventional superconductors with a short correlation length, e.g. in high-Tc superconductors.
