Abstract
We measured the thermal expansiondL/L of silica aerogels filled with liquid4He. A rapid contraction of the gel is observed atTco slightly belowTλ at decreasingT. We found an additional expansion due to fountain pressure gradients. It suddendly decreases at a temperatureTc(<Tco). We interpretTc as a critical temperature above which superfluid exists only in some regions.
