Abstract
The evolution of shape of the surface of equipotentially charged liquid hydrogen film condensed on lower or upper plate of a horizontally placed diode in external electric fields has been studied experimentally under the conditions of total compensation of the applied field by the surface charge. Reconstruction phenomenon — the formation of a solitary wave (soliton) — has been observed in an electric field higher than some critical value for the film covering the lower plate.
