Abstract

Previous studies have revealed the possibility of observing prewetting phenomena of⁴He films on alkali substrates, particularly on Na where the prewetting jump was predicted to be the largest (5.25 layers). The well depth D has been calculated for Na to be 10 K. Given the various uncertainties in the calculation, we have explored a range of D values, from 10 to 15 K. Additionally, we study the interesting possibilities of a layered substrate, with Na preplated on top of metal substrates, such as Cu and Ne, on which the prewetting jump can be observed as a function of the Na thickness.
