Abstract
Crystals of solid helium in their melt exhibit a phenomenon generally not found in other materials: oscillations of the solid-liquid interface in which atoms of the solid move only when they melt and enter the liquid. Such melting-freezing waves were predicted by Andreev & Parshin [AP] in 1978 and exhibited experimentally1 by Keshishev, Parshin, & Babkin [KPB] in 1979.
