Show affiliationsThe contribution of the strong-coupling effects to the free energy of the 'dirty' superfluid 3He is estimated using a simple model. It is shown that the strong-coupling effects are less susceptible to quasiparticle scattering events in comparison to the weak-coupling counterpart. This supports the conclusion of stabilization of the B-phase in the aerogel environment at pressures where the A-phase is favoured in bulk superfluid 3He, in accordance with recent experimental observations in zero magnetic field.
