Helium becomes a super°uid at temperatures T <
2:18 K. A super°uid °ows with no viscosity. This behaviour
can only be explained using quantum physics and it can
only happen if the de Broglie wavelength of a helium atom,
of mass m, is comparable to the inter-atomic spacing of the
°uid. What could be an expression for
the de Broglie wavelength?
Can anyone tell me where to learn this?
I'm currently working on Fundamentals of Physics, would I understand this when I finish the book? What level is this?
Thanks in advance
