Abstract
The growth rate of 4He crystals from superfluid is measured in the temperature range 1.2–1.75 K at supersaturations up to 40 mbar. The growth rate is observed to decrease at high supersaturations: above 5 mbar in the bcc phase and above 20 mbar in the hcp phase. The temperature dependence of the kinetic growth factor K is measured in the low-supersaturation limit. In the vicinity of the superfluid transition the kinetic growth factor exhibits critical behavior: K ∝ (Tλ−T)ε with the exponent ε=0.743±0.123. A jump in the growth factor is observed at the bcc-hcp transition point. The crystal growth kinetics problem is solved in the hydrodynamic approximation, explaining both the temperature behavior of K and the existence of the jump in the modification of the crystal structure.
