Abstract
After a brief discussion of the principles of adsorption thermodynamics, the current status of knowledge concerning the properties of adsorbed helium is reviewed. Experimental measurements of heats of adsorption, adsorption isotherms and heat capacities of adsorbed films are considered and related to one another and to theory wherever possible.
