S. Bhattacharyya et Jk. Bhattacharjee, lambda transition in confined He-4: Ratio of surface specific heats above and below the bulk transition point, PHYS REV B, 61(9), 2000, pp. 5899-5901
We calculate the ratio of the surface specific heats above and below the bu
lk lambda point for the superfluid transition in confined liquid He-4 in a
wafer geometry. Our calculation is valid for the first departure from therm
odynamics. A comparison with presently known experimental results is shown.
