摘要
We report measurements of the effect of the presence of He-3 on the wetting of He-4 to a cesium-plated substrate; He-3 induces the wetting of the mixture film to cesium at low temperatures where a pure He-4 film does not wet. The wetting is hysteretic and reentrant with wetting at low temperatures. A lower wetting temperature is measured as a function of the amount of He-3 in the apparatus and as a function of the estimated He-3-He-4 ratio in the mixture film.
