The Thickness of the Helium Film
Physical Review1954Vol. 93(4), pp. 655–656
Abstract
It is suggested that the change in thickness of the helium film at the $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ point is not caused by any essential change in the thermodynamic relation between film thickness, pressure, and temperature. It can be a result of the onset of superfluidity below the $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ point which causes a great change in the rate of approach to equilibrium and consequently of the average of the film thickness during the experimental fluctuation of pressure and temperature.
