Abstract
We have measured the mobility of positive and negative ions trapped on vortex lines in He3-He4 solutions at temperatures from 0.3 to 1.6 K. Abrupt changes in the mobility at certain critical temperatures are interpreted as being associated with the condensation of He3 atoms onto the vortex cores. The dependence of the critical temperature on the bulk He3 concentration is found to be in good agreement with a simple condensation theory.
