SPECIFIC HEATS OF SUBMONOLAYER 4He FILMS ADSORBED ON GRAFOIL COATED WITH MONOLAYER ARGON

Abstract
Measurements of the specific heat, C, of 4He adsorbed on grafoil coated with an argon monolayer were made in the temperature range 0.4 K to 4 K for fractional coverages x = 0.200, 0.277, 0.366, 0.437, 0.457, 0.502 and 0.544 (x = 1 corresponds to a completed monolayer). The resulting curves showed marked peaks, reaching values of C/Nk of from 2.5 to 3.2 at temperatures in the range 1.95 K to 2.54 K. Near 3.5 K, C/Nk falls to approximately temperature independent values between 0.85 and 1.0. A brief discussion is given for differences between the experimental results and theory
