Abstract
Measurements of the Kapitza resistanceR K between Fe, Co, and Ni and superfluid helium in the range 1–2 K are presented. The results are in strong numerical disagreement with the Khalatnikov model. We also find thatR K depends hardly at all upon the state of mechanical deformation of the surface, in sharp disagreement with the previous work of Wey-Yen on nickel. The results are internally consistent and fit into the general pattern of available published work on other materials.
