Noble gases with even nuclear spin form superfluids?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Noble gases with even nuclear spin, aside from Helium, do not form superfluids. The discussion highlights a query regarding the consistent difference between the melting point and boiling point of noble gases, which is confirmed to be approximately the same across these elements. This phenomenon is attributed to their atomic structure and intermolecular forces. The source of this information includes the Wikipedia page on noble gases, which provides detailed physical and atomic properties.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with the physical properties of noble gases
  • Knowledge of superfluidity and its conditions
  • Basic grasp of atomic structure and intermolecular forces
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of Helium and its unique ability to form superfluids
  • Explore the quantum mechanical principles behind superfluidity
  • Investigate the atomic structure of noble gases and their intermolecular interactions
  • Study the phase transitions of noble gases and their thermodynamic properties
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, chemists, and students studying quantum mechanics, particularly those interested in the properties of noble gases and superfluidity.

Other than Helium do Noble gases with even nuclear spin form superfluids?

Is there a simple quantum mechanical explanation why the difference below of the Melting point and Boiling point of the Noble gases is roughly the same value? A yes or no would suffice.
