Electronic surface states of liquid helium
TLDR
In this paper, two species of surface states are discussed: weakly bound by the image force and an electron bubble held below the interface with an applied field, and a resonance experiment in this geometry determines an effective mass different from the bulk liquid value.Abstract:
Electrons at the surface of liquid $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ are potentially valuable probes of both static and dynamic properties of the interface. Two species of surface state are discussed. One of these is localized just above the interface, weakly bound by the image force. The existence of this state has been confirmed by direct spectroscopic observation. Measurements of parallel field mobility and life-time on the surface are discussed and compared with predictions. The other surface state is an electron bubble held below the interface with an applied field. A resonance experiment in this geometry determines an effective mass different from the bulk liquid value. Studies of field emission from the bubbles lead to an evaluation of other bubble properties.read more

Ordering, metastability and phase transitions in two-dimensional systems
TL;DR: In this article, a new definition of order called topological order is proposed for two-dimensional systems in which no long-range order of the conventional type exists, and the possibility of a phase transition characterized by a change in the response of the system to an external perturbation is discussed in the context of a mean field type of approximation.

On the Surface States Associated with a Periodic Potential
TL;DR: In this article, the wave functions and energy levels associated with a finite one-dimensional periodic potential field are investigated and the surface levels appear only at lattice constants so small that the boundary curves for the allowed energy bands have crossed.
