Abstract

We study the kinetics of nucleating droplets in metastable helium at ultralow temperatures. Our theory takes into account intense acoustic or electric field. The quantum nucleation rate can be greatly enhanced by the field when its frequency ω is higher than the inverse of tunnelling time τ s . In particular, we present a new formula for the quantum nucleation rate in the limit ωτ s ≫1.
