✦ Synopsis

The behavior of the order parameter Aai(X) is investigated for a planar interface between 3He-A and 3He-B. Boundary conditions are derived and the surface energy is calculated in excellent agreement with experiment. Our energy is 30% lower than a previous estimate which assumed the presence of a planar phase in the transition region.
