On the Possibility of "Dry" Friction in Superfluid He-4
arXiv:1102.5490 · doi:10.15407/ujpe56.2.144
Abstract
We propose a possible microscopic explanation of the exhaustion of ρ_s of helium-II on the wall at T>T_{c} = 0.5 - 1 K and predict a possibility of the existence in He-II of the "dry" friction at T < T_{c}. Both of the effects connect with that the energy of the 2D-rotons is 2K less then the energy of 3D-rotons, so the wall is a potential well for the last ones.
