Propagation of sound in two-dimensional 3He

  • 1. Department of Physics, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210

Description

"Surface sound" has been observed for the first time, in He³ adsorbed on the free surface of liquid He⁴. Measurements of the surface-sound velocity and surface tension are used to obtain new values for the effective mass M=(1.3±0.1)m₃ and binding energy ϵ0kB=2.28±0.03 K of the adsorbed He³.
