abstract
Using crystallization waves we have measured the interfacial stiffness, {Mathematical expression}, and the temperature dependence of the growth resistance, (Km)-1, of the4He solid-liquid interface in the presence of3He impurities. For the purest4He sample, (Km)-1 is consistent at the lowest temperatures with the assumption that the growth velocity is limited by the scattering of ballistic phonons from the moving interface. At higher concentrations of3He, we observe that (Km)-1 increases exponentially with temperature below 0.25 K. We observe that {Mathematical expression} decreases with increasing3He concentration. 1992 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
