Transmission of crystallization waves across the edge between the rough and faceted crystalline surfaces at the superfluid-solid 4He interface
Abstract
The wavelike processes of crystallization and melting or crystallization waves are well known to exist at the crystal 4He surface in its rough state. Below the roughening transition temperature the crystalline surface experiences the transition to the smooth faceted state and the crystallization waves represent the propagation of a train of crystalline steps at the velocity depending on the crystal step height. Here we analyze the transmission and reflection of crystallization waves which propagate across the crystal edge separating the crystalline surfaces in the rough and faceted states.
