Abstract

The properties of 3He adsorbed on the surface of graphite exhibit a rich variety of phenomena as the areal density is changed. The system permits the study of two dimensional quantum liquids and solids, as well as 2D solids with an overlayer of fluid. Also because of the existence of registered solids, certainly in the first layer and possibly in the second layer, one can study quantum exchange in systems for which there is no 3D equivalent. In addition the multilayer fluid film shows evidence of quantum size effects.
