Effect of gas composition on the pressure dependence of helium solubility in vitreous silica

Abstract
Helium solubility in vitreous silica has been measured from 0.1 to 1360 atm for helium-nitrogen mixtures containing from 10 to 100% helium. The results support previous contentions that the solubility process can be adequately explained by a simple statistical thermodynamical model, i.e., Langmuir adsorption. This model indicates that there are 1.9×1021 solubility sites per cm3 of glass.
