Abstract

Detailed calculations are presented of the phonon transmission between liquid and solid helium. The transmission coefficients are used to determine the Kapitza conductance. Calculations have been made based on the usual acoustic-mismatch theory, and also using a modified theory in which it is assumed that very rapid melting and freezing can occur at the interface.
