Properties of a pinned electron solid on a liquid helium film
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conduction and noise properties of a classical electron solid pinned by variations in the image potential of a glass substrate underneath a helium film supporting the electrons are presented. These properties include a nonlinear resistivity, a f requency-dependent complex impedance, f-a noise and an abrupt increase in broad-band noise when the electron solid becomes depinned. The results of this study are compared with data on quantum electrons solids in heterostructures and MOSFETs .

Possible Correlation Effects of Surface State Electrons on a Solid Hydrogen Film
Surface state electrons (SSE) on cryogenic surfaces such as helium, hydrogen and neon have been receiving continuous attention over the past years 1. They have been used as surface probes 2,3, but there is also major interest in the properties of the 2-dimensional electron system itself. High electron densities can be reached on solid substrates which furthermore allow to study the effects of v...
متن کاملSurface State Electrons on a Hydrogen Film. 2. Influence of Adsorbed Helium Films
We have investigated the conductivity of surface state electrons on liquid 4He films supported by a quench-condensed thin solid hydrogen substrate. A pronounced dip in the ac-conductivity was observed as the He film thickness reached about 10 layers. This phenomenon was studied at different temperatures (range between 1.6 and 210, electron densities from 0.9 to 19x10S cm -2, frequencies between...
متن کاملEquilibrium helium film in the thick film limit
For the thickness 0 5 a liquid or solid quantum f i lm, like liquid helium or solid hydrogen, there exist still open questions about how the film thickness develops in certain limits. One of these is the thick film limit, i.e., the crossover from the thick film to bulk. We have performed rneasurements in this range using the surface plasmon resonance technique and an evaporated h g film deposit...
متن کاملElectron transport in a quasi-one dimensional channel on suspended helium films
Quasi-one dimensional electron systems have been created using a suspended helium film on a structured substrate. The electron mobility along the channel is calculated by taking into account the essential scattering processes of electrons by helium atoms in the vapor phase, ripplons, and surface defects of the film substrate. It is shown that the last scattering mechanism may dominate the elect...
متن کاملAccurate characteristics of Helium in nano-channels
This article describes an accurate subPico flowmeter bifurcatedin to liquid and gas flowrates less than 1mol/s for both MEMS/NEMS and cryogenic technology applications. The MEMS/NEMS are described as either two Gauges (instrument), or quartz fluctuating forks, even if the liquid or gas flows through an element, as well as cryogenic technology consisting of arrays of e...
