title: Slippage of nonsuperfluid helium films
abstract: We measured the mechanical response of 3He and 4He films on an oscillating substrate using an ultrasonic technique. Up to the coverage at which the fluid state appears at absolute zero, a part of the nonsuperfluid 3He and 4He films underwent slipping relative to the substrate at low temperatures. From the temperature dependence of the slippage, it was found that a thermally activated process plays an important role in the frictional force of this system.
