Synopsis
Electrons and ions have been used for over 40 years as probes to investigate the fascinating properties of helium liquids. The study of the transport properties of microscopic charge carriers sheds light on superfluidity, on quantum hydrodynamics, and on the interactions with collective excitations in quantum liquids. The structure of the probes themselves depends on their coupling with the liquid environment in a way that gives further insight into the microscopic behavior of the liquid in different thermodynamic conditions, such as in the superfluid phase, in the normal phase, or near the liquid-vapor critical point. This book provides a comprehensive review of the experiments and theories of transport properties of charge carriers in liquid helium. It is a subject about which no other monograph exists to date. The book is intended for graduate and postgraduate students and for condensed matter physicists who will benefit from its completeness and accuracy., This book provides a complete scientific survey of the experiments and theories of charge transport in liquid helium. The experimental outcome and the theoretical interpretation are thoroughly discussed. A vast literature is supplied for the interested reader to improve his/her knowledge of a specific topic., Electrons and ions have been used for over 40 years as probes to investigate the fascinating properties of helium liquids.
