โฆ Synopsis
The response of a sheet of electrons on the surface of liquid helium to an ac driving fieM parallel to the surface is investigated. A Corbino-type electrode arrangement is used to study the influence of a vertical magnetic field. The surface electron mobility is deduced from the observed temperature and magnetic field dependences of the ac response, by means of a simplified equivalent circuit analysis. The mobility data thus obtained show the ripplonlimited behavior at low temperature and are in reasonable agreement with the previous experimental result of Grimes and Adams and with the theoretical calculation of Saitoh. A similar measurement carried out on the surface of 3He has revealed that the mobility is determined by the gas atom scattering down to the lowest temperature (~ 0.5 K) of the present study.
