Kosterlitz and Thouless explained its transition via the unbinding of vortices, and a Rollin film consists entirely of one.
Kosterlitz and Thouless explained its transition via the unbinding of vortices, and a Rollin film consists entirely of one. It is impossible to set up a temperature gradient in an object with this property, as those exhibiting it have infinite thermal conductivity and zero entropy. Used in dilution refrigerators, the temperature threshold for its occurrence can be found on a graph of specific heat capacity versus temperature, and is known as the lambda point. John Allen and Peter Kapitza discovered, for 10 points, what property of helium-4 and other compounds in which resistance to flow enitirely dissapears?
