Surface Electrons on Solid Quantum Substrates: A Brief Review
摘要
In this work an overview is given on experiments with surface electrons above the quantum solids hydrogen and neon. While two-dimensional ensembles of surface electrons on the quantum liquid superfluid helium have been studied already in great detail, investigations of electrons on quantum solids are rather sparse. Since recently electron-on-neon qubits have been shown to exhibit very long coherence times, there is a demand for understanding the conditions for a successful growth of thin solid neon films as a qubit substrate. Therefore, in this review also the triple point wetting phenomenon of the hydrogen isotopes and neon is discussed, which dominates the growth of solid films of these materials.
