Absence of low temperature anomaly in the Debye-Waller factor of solid He-4
Abstract
The mean square atomic displacement in hcp-phase solid He-4 has been measured in crystals with a molar volume of 21.3 cm3. It is temperature independent from 1 K to 140 mK, with no evidence for an anomaly in the vicinity of the proposed supersolid transition. The mean square displacement is different for in-plane motions (0.122 +/- 0.001 A(2)) and out-of-plane motions (0.150 +/- 0.001 A (2)).
