Film thinning in unsaturated superfluid /sup 4/He films during persistent flow

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., Sect. B. Condens. Matter; (United States)
We report measurements of the thickness of unsaturated superfluid /sup 4/He films in persistent flow as a function of persistent current velocity. Our results are in quantitative agreement with the predictions of Kontorovich, and thus disagree with the conclusion of Rudnick and coworkers that rho/sub s//rho has an enhanced velocity dependence in these films.
