Macroscopic structures on the electron charged surface of liquid 4He

The electrically charged surface of liquid 4He is studied optically. Measurements of the depth of macroscopic dimples as a function of electric field yield information about the charge distribution on the deformed surface. We also discuss recent calculations of the energy of dimple lattice and strip...

Description
Summary:The electrically charged surface of liquid 4He is studied optically. Measurements of the depth of macroscopic dimples as a function of electric field yield information about the charge distribution on the deformed surface. We also discuss recent calculations of the energy of dimple lattice and stripe deformations.
