Underbarrier nucleation kinetics in a metastable quantum liquid near the spinodal
We develop a theory in order to describe the effect of relaxation in a
condensed medium upon the quantum decay of a metastable liquid near the
spinodal at low temperatures. We find that both the regime and the rate of
quantum nucleation strongly depend on the relaxation time and its temperature
behavior. The quantum nucleation rate slows down with the decrease of the
relaxation time. We also discuss the low temperature experiments on cavitation
in normal He and superfluid He at negative pressures. It is the sharp
distinctions in the high frequency sound mode and in the temperature behavior
of the relaxation time that make the quantum cavitation kinetics in He and
He completely different in kind.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure

Explosive Boiling of Superheated Cryogenic Liquids
The monograph is devoted to the description of the kinetics of spontaneous boiling of superheated liquefied gases and their solutions. Experimental results are given on the temperature of accessible superheating, the limits of tensile strength of liquids due to processes of cavitation and the rates of nucleation of classical and quantum liquids. The kinetics of evolution of the gas phase is studied in detail for solutions of cryogenic liquids and gas-saturated fluids. The properties of the critical clusters (bubbles of critical sizes) of the newly evolving gas phase are analyzed for initial s
