Research Abstract |
Low temperature quantum phase diagrams of the first and second layers of helium-3 (3He) and helium-4 (4He) adsorbed on graphite were studied by specific heat measurements. Theoretically unexpected many-body condensation of two-dimensional 3He was discovered. In addition, the existence of a commensurate solid phase in the second layer of both 3He and 4He was confirmed, which had also been unexpected from the first-principles calculations. This phase is presumably a low-density quantum solid with zero-point defectons. We succeeded in the first real-space imaging of monolayer of Krypton adsorbed on graphite with low temperature STM and confirmed the adsorption site of Kr to be the hollow site of graphite honeycomb lattice. A feasibility study of development of a LEED instrument which works at dilution refrigerator temperatures was successfully finished.
