Abstract

The interfacial tension of3He−4He mixtures at saturated vapor pressure has been measured precisely down to 0.15 K by means of the resonance of the interfacial wave. We found that the decrease of the interfacial tension from the value at absolute zero can be described as 56.8T 2 mdyne/cm up to about 0.4 K and that the extrapolated value at absolute zero is 23.9±1.0 mdyne/cm. The large temperature dependence in the low temperature region may be explained by the effect of the change in density difference between the two phases.
