Scaling Function for the Critical Specific Heat in a Confined Geometry : Spherical Limit
The scaling function for the critical specific heat is obtained exactly for
temperatures above the bulk transition temperature by working in the spherical
limit. Generalization of the function to arbitrary (the specific heat
exponent), gives an excellent account of the experimental data of Mehta and
Gasparini near the superfluid transition.Comment: 11 pages (LaTeX), 2 figures (PostScript
