Abstract
We have measured the times necessary to recover the stable size of a facet of a 4He crystal in a slow growing process, close to the roughening transition of the facet (TR ≅ 215 mK). These times exhibit a critical slowing down from 2 min. far from this transition to 44 min. at a few mK from the transitionKeywords
