A slightly inaccurate numerical prefactor has been given for He2 in Table B.1. The temperature fit in the 200-400 K range actually gives D3 =1.967× (T300)1.71 atm× cm2 s. The diffusion coefficient for isotopic mixtures must be accordingly modified: D3-4 =1.840× (T300)1.71 atm× cm2 s; Also, consequently, in G. Tastevin, Physica B 329-333, 303 (2003), the correct values of the diffusion coefficients at 1 mbar and 293 K are D31 =1914 cm2 s for He3, and D N2 1 =790 cm2 s for He3 in N2 (a 1% and 1.4% change, respectively, due to the combined former errors in D3 and pressure units).

73. The relevant mfp λ is computed from the diffusion coefficient: D=vλ3. In the particular case of self-diffusion in a single gas, λ is twice the usual collisional mfp, as defined from molecular diameter or obtained from other transport coefficients such as viscosity or heat conduction [see, e.g., J. Jeans, An Introduction to the Kinetic Theory of Gases, (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge 1948), pp. 207-210]. In pure He3, λ is thus equal to 400 μm at 1 mbar for free gas diffusion at 293 K.
74. See EPAPS Document No. E-JCPSA6-123-034528 for plots and discussion of the pressure dependence obtained for Deff when aerogel-free spaces are taken into account, or when other types of mfp distributions in aerogel are used.
