3 He was first proposed as a neutron detector in 1939. [11] It was first thought to be a radioactive isotope until samples of natural helium were found (which is mostly helium-4). Helium is found just below the Earth's crust in a ratio of 300 atoms of 3 He per million atoms of 4 He. [12]
Helium-3 (3 He [1] [2] see also helion) is a light, stable isotope of helium with two protons and one neutron. (In contrast, the most common isotope, helium-4, has two protons and two neutrons.) Helium-3 and protium (ordinary hydrogen) are the only stable nuclides with more protons than neutrons. It was discovered in 1939.
Helium-3 is almost entirely primordial (a small amount is formed by natural nuclear reactions in the crust). Helium-3 can also be produced as the decay product of tritium (3 H) which is a product of some nuclear reactions, including ternary fission. The global supply of helium (which occurs in gas wells as well as the atmosphere) is mainly ...
In Earth's atmosphere, the ratio of 3 He to 4 He is 1.343(13) × 10 −6. [5] However, the isotopic abundance of helium varies greatly depending on its origin. In the Local Interstellar Cloud, the proportion of 3 He to 4 He is 1.62(29) × 10 −4, [6] which is ~121 times higher than in Earth's atmosphere.

A 3 He/ 4 He dilution refrigerator is a cryogenic device that provides continuous cooling to temperatures as low as 2 mK, with no moving parts in the low-temperature region. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The cooling power is provided by the heat of mixing of the helium-3 and helium-4 isotopes.
