  2. Helium dimer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_dimer

    For the A 1 Σ u state the binding energy is around 2.5 eV, with a separation of the atoms of 103.9 pm. The C 1 Σ g state has a binding energy 0.643 eV and the separation between atoms is 109.1 pm. [ 27 ] These two states have a repulsive range of distances with a maximum around 300 pm, where if the excited atoms approach, they have to ...

  3. Isotopes of helium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_helium

    In Earth's atmosphere, the ratio of 3 He to 4 He is 1.343(13) × 10 −6. [5] However, the isotopic abundance of helium varies greatly depending on its origin. In the Local Interstellar Cloud , the proportion of 3 He to 4 He is 1.62(29) × 10 −4 , [ 6 ] which is ~121 times higher than in Earth's atmosphere.

  4. Lambda point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_point

    At pressure of 1 atmosphere, the transition occurs at approximately 2.17 K. The lowest pressure at which He-I and He-II can coexist is the vapor−He-I−He-II triple point at 2.1768 K (−270.9732 °C) and 5.0418 kPa (0.049759 atm), which is the "saturated vapor pressure " at that temperature (pure helium gas in thermal equilibrium over the ...

  5. Helium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium

    The drop of liquid at the bottom of the glass represents helium spontaneously escaping from the container over the side, to empty out of the container. The energy to drive this process is supplied by the potential energy of the falling helium. Helium liquifies when cooled below 4.2 K at atmospheric pressure.

  6. Helium atom - Wikipedia

    The potential is a Coulomb interaction, so the corresponding individual electron energies are given by = = and the corresponding spatial wave function is given by (,) = (+) If Z e was 1.70, that would make the expression above for the ground state energy agree with the experimental value E 0 = −2.903 a.u. of the ground state energy of helium.

  7. Liquid helium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_helium

    Liquid helium is a physical state of helium at very low temperatures at standard atmospheric pressures.Liquid helium may show superfluidity.. At standard pressure, the chemical element helium exists in a liquid form only at the extremely low temperature of −269 °C (−452.20 °F; 4.15 K).

  8. Helium-3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium-3

    Since the atmosphere of the Earth has a mass of about 5.14 × 10 18 kilograms (1.133 × 10 19 lb), [24] the mass of 3 He in the Earth's atmosphere is the product of these numbers, or about 37,000 tonnes (36,000 long tons; 41,000 short tons) of 3 He. (In fact the effective figure is ten times smaller, since the above ppm are ppmv and not ppmw.

  9. Zero-point energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

    Roughly speaking, the uncertainty principle states that complementary variables (such as a particle's position and momentum, or a field's value and derivative at a point in space) cannot simultaneously be specified precisely by any given quantum state. In particular, there cannot exist a state in which the system simply sits motionless at the ...
