Abstract
Pricaupenko and Treiner(1) predicted a small but non-negligible temper ature dependence of the surface tension between liquid helium and cesi um. However, when the effects of bulk phonons in both liquid and solid are taken into account, the temperature dependence is found to be sig nificantly weaker. The effect of surface adsorption, surface stress an d surface elasticity are also considered, and found to be negligible. Experimental results have so far been contradictory.
