Abstract

The Kapitza resistance has been measured between liquid or solid3He or4He and surfaces of Mg, Cu, W, and Au in the temperature range 0.03–0.3 K. The experimental data are in relatively good agreement with the acoustic mismatch theory modified so as to include phonon attenuation in the metal. Below ∼0.1 K the Kapitza resistance of liquid3He is often reduced relative to that of liquid4He, suggesting the presence of an enhanced thermal conduction between liquid3He and metals as has been observed in other laboratories.
