Below $\sim 630$~mK, the \4he atom mass flux, $F$, that passes through a cell filled with solid hcp \4he in the pressure range 25.6 - 26.4~bar, rises with falling temperature and at a temperature $T_d$ the flux drops sharply. The flux above…
Everybody knows that when a liquid is heated, its temperature increases until the moment when it starts to boil. The increase in temperature then stops, all heat being used to transform the liquid into vapor. What is the microscopic origin…
