Our results indicate that a rather small dissipation decreases sizeably the quantum-to-thermal crossover temperature $T^*$ for cavitation in normal liquid $^3$He. This is a possible explanation why recent experiments have not yet found clear evidence of quantum cavitation at temperatures below the $T^*$ predicted by calculations which neglect dissipation.4 p.application/pdfeng(c) The American Physical Society, 1999Heli líquidCavitacióLiquid heliumCavitationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article149498info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
