and w 0.1, the effective exponent is about 24% greater than the
dynamic scaling exponent of /2. Note that for
k
k
c
→0, we would see the exponent
/2, but real experiments can never get down to this asymptotic range, and hence in
the k-range accessible to the experiments,the asymptotic dynamic scaling exponent
is still not accessible due to the existence of a small correction-to-scaling expo-
nent. Note that our discussion in k-space simply carries over to κ-space when we
discuss the thermal conductivity measurements as a function of temperature near
the lambda point. While the above gives a correct qualitative feel for the way the
things work, to get quantitative results one needs to investigate the renormalization
group flow equations.
