Abstract

It is shown that in crystals whose melting curve lies close to a line of structural transitions on the PT phase diagram, heterophase fluctuations can have a crystal–liquid structure and consist of crystallites of the nonequilibrium phase surrounded by a layer of liquid. It is shown that such crystal–liquid inclusions can form in the bcc phase of the He4 crystal, which provides an explanation for the features of the kinetic, thermodynamic, and structural properties of the He4 crystal in the bcc region.
