Abstract

Measurements are reported of the dielectric constant of 3He in the temperature range from 0.5 to 2.4 K and of 4He from 0.7 to 4.2 K. From these measurements the molar volumes of the two isotopes have been calculated for the same temperature ranges, using the polarizabilities reported by Kerr and Sherman.
