Abstract
Experimental results indicating roughening transitions in bcc He-3 (10 0), (110), and (211) facets were recently obtained by Wagner et al. We built computer models for these facets using a Lennard-Jones potentia l, including higher-nearest-neighbor interactions. By Monte Carlo simu lations we obtained the transition temperatures of these facets; these fit the experimental limits quite well.
