Abstract
We have investigated the quantum-to-thermal crossover temperature T f or cavitation in liquid-helium mixtures up to 5% He-3 concentrations. With respect to the pure-He-4 case, T is sizeably reduced, to a value below 50 mK for He-3 concentrations above 2%. As in pure He-4, the ho mogeneous cavitation pressure is systematically found close to the spi nodal pressure.
