Nonlinear first sound response of liquid helium at 1, 3 and 10 MHz

The first sound response of liquid helium at 1, 3 and 10 MHz is studied using piezoelectric ceramic transducers. Above specific threshold displacement amplitudes, subharmonic frequencies ($\text{?}{}_0\text{2}$, $\text{?}{}_0\text{3}$,…) and ultraharmonic frequencies ($\text{3?}{}_0\text{2}$, $\text{5?}{}_0\text{2}$,…) appear in the response spectrum. The magnitude of the threshold displacement amplitudes for the production of subharmonics suggests that vapor microbubble oscillation appears not to be the primary generation mechanism.
