We describe systematic heat-transport measurements of a 7.5% He-3-He-4
solid mixture coexisting with the liquid at temperatures near 1 K. We
observed that under a temperature gradient, macroscopic liquid bubble
s appear and move through the solid. Visually, this phenomenon resembl
es boiling. However, in our case the bubbles are formed and subsequent
ly move from the cold side towards the hot side of the experimental ce
ll. The bubbles move with a speed that depends linearly on the tempera
ture gradient. We present a model explaining the motion of the bubbles
as resulting from the dynamics of superfluid mixtures. A possible mec
hanism of bubble formation is discussed.
