Exploding electron bubbles The first observations of excited electron bubbles in superfluid helium reveal some puzzling features From
The “particle in a box'' is a standard second year quantum mechanics problem, much beloved by lecturers and mastered by successive generations of undergraduates. An electron bubble in liquid helium provides a strikingly simple example of this kind of system, and theory predicts that it should exhibit a series of excited states. But these states have never been demonstrated experimentally. Now D...
متن کاملMulti-electron Bubbles under Pressure
Multi-electron bubbles (MEBs) can be macroscopic in size. The crucial surface electron density is limited to a bit more than 10 cm on flat helium surfaces, but can be greater than 10 cm in small bubbles and as high as 10 cm for helium under modest pressures and can have increased stability for negative pressures. We discuss some of the properties of as well as a method for stabilizing of MEBs.
متن کاملShape Optimization and Electron Bubbles
We present an analytical treatment of the shape optimization problem that arises in the study of electron bubbles. The problem is to minimize a weighted sum of a Laplace eigenvalue, volume, and surface area with respect to the shape of the domain. The analysis employs the calculus of moving surfaces and yields surprising conclusions regarding the stability of equilibrium spherical configuration...
متن کاملPhonon generation in condensed He by laser-excited atomic bubbles
We discuss the interaction between nanometer-sized defects (atomic bubbles) and elementary excitations (phonons) in quantum fluids and solids. We observe that optical excitations in embedded metal atoms induce bubble expansions/contractions that create strongly localized phonon wave packets in the quantum matrix. We derive the structure and dynamics of these vibronic excitations from the experi...
متن کاملInstability of the 2S electron bubbles.
The 2S electron bubble placed in liquid helium has been previously believed to be spherical. We show that the 2S bubble is morphologically unstable at pressures above -1.23 bars. The 2S state being known to be radially unstable at pressures below -1.33 bars, the result leaves only a very narrow pressure range in which it can be found in a spherical configuration. Our stability analysis indicate...
