The results are compared with available experimental data on cavitation in 3He and 4He. Predictions are made for cavitation in 3He at negative pressures and for nucleation in both isotopes.7 p.application/pdfeng(c) The American Physical Society, 1993Líquids quànticsTransformacions de fase (Física estadística)CavitacióTemperatures baixesNucleacióQuantum liquidsPhase transformations (Statistical physics)CavitationLow temperaturesNucleationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article76018info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
