Abstract

Helium wetting and prewetting phenomena at temperatures T>0 are addressed. Emphasis is given to the weak-binding substrates Cs and H₂, which have been predicted and observed to be nonwet and wet, respectively, by⁴He at low temperatures. Calculations of the wetting temperature T_W and the prewetting line near T_W for Cs, as well as the prewetting line near T=0 for H₂, are given. Predictions concerning the interplay between superfluid onset and prewetting are made, and prewetting critical temperatures are estimated.
