To investigate whether it is possible to control the wetting ofcrystals on a wall in superfluid, the contact angles ofcrystals were measured on rough and smooth walls at very low temperatures. A rough wall was prepared in a simple manner in which a commercially available coating agent for car mirrors, which makes the glass surface superhydrophobic, was used to coat a glass plate. The contact angles ofcrystals were increased by approximatelyon the rough wall coated with the agent. Therefore, the increase in the repellency ofcrystals in superfluid was demonstrated to be possible on a very rough surface. The enhancement of the contact angles and a scanning electron microscopy image of the coated surface both suggest that a Cassie-Baxter state ofcrystals was realized on the surface; the crystals did not have full contact with the wall, but entrapped superfluid was present beneath the crystals in the hollow parts of the rough wall.
