The study of liquid-gas transition in porous media allows for a test of the influence of confinement and disorder on a first order phase transition. Thanks to its low surface tension, helium can be used, combined with materials of high porosity, such as silica aerogels. Therefore, disorder and/or confinement can be changed by varying the porosity and/or the micro-structure. The main consequence is a variation in temperature of the observed shape of the hysteresis cycle in isotherms between condensation and evaporation. With silica aerogels, an out of equilibrium disorder driven phase transition is predicted by a numerical model, it is characterized by the divergence of the adsorption branch slope at low temperature. Our experiments, with tw...
