The results of a series of measurements of superfluid transition behavior in helium films are presented. Variations of the superfluid density and dissipation in the vicinity of the transition were measured. Dynamical effects were probed by comparing transitions at two different frequencies. Results

β¦ Synopsis
The results of a series of measurements of Kosterlitz-Thouless behavior in helium films are presented. Use is made of high Q piezoelectric crystals so as to probe the phenomena in a single fiat substrate geometry at high frequencies. Variations of the superfluid density and dissipation in the vicinity of the transition were measured. Results are compared with a comprehensive numerical calculation in which finite size scaling effects are explicitly introduced. A consistent picture for the dependence of critical thickness on temperature is obtained.
