摘要
We have measured overpressures needed to nucleate helium-4 crystals at temperatures 2 mK - 1.0 K. Distributions of nucleation pressures were recorded using a sensitive capacitive pressure gauge with a resolution of 0.3 mu bar. Above 100 mK the median value of the distribution decreased according to T--1/2 as expected for thermal fluctuations. Below 100 mK we observed a crossover to a temperature independent regime.
