Abstract

We performed quartz crystal microbalance experiments for a $^{3}\mathrm{He}\text{\ensuremath{-}}^{4}\mathrm{He}$ mixture film on an exfoliated single-crystalline graphite using a 32-kHz quartz tuning fork. The decoupled $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ overlayer on the superfluid $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ layer shows a reentrant pinning at a certain temperature ${T}_{3d}$ under a large oscillation amplitude. The pinning state below ${T}_{3d}$ is metastable. After reducing the oscillation amplitude, the $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ overlayer relaxes to a stable pinning state via a depinning state. It is found that the reentrant pinning is triggered by a structure change of the underlying localized $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ layer on the oscillating substrate.
