Abstract
Experiments with gold-plated quartz-crystal resonators show that uniform and stable films of both superfluid and normal-liquid helium, with thicknesses up to 60 nm, can be formed on a planar substrate. Thick fluid films are also formed in the critical adsorption region above the gas-liquid critical point.Keywords
