Theory of the Phonon-Roton Spectrum of Liquid 4He

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 257))

Abstract

The theory of the excited states of boson fluids, and particularly liquid 4He, has been the subject of attention for nearly fifty years, beginning with Landau’s observation in 1941 that the unusual properties of liquid 4He at temperatures well below the λ point could be understood in terms of a phonon and roton spectrum of excited states.1 Subsequently Landau asserted without proof that the phonons and rotons were part of a single, continuous spectrum as a function of momentum,2 having essentially the same form as is presently widely accepted.
