Kapitza resistance measurements conducted at T > 1 K on silicon and niobium single crystals in contact with helium demonstrate respectively the importance of atomic scale surface roughness and dislocations due to surface damage at the boundary. Two different experimental configurations were used.

The discovery of superfluidity was published simultaneously by P. L. Kapitza, and by J. F. Allen and A. D. Misener in the same issue of Nature in 1938.
