Abstract:
The experimental observation of the strong Coulombic effect on magneto-oscillations of the photoconductivity of surface electrons in liquid helium is reported. The observed broadening of the oscillations and shifts in positions of conductivity extrema with increasing electron density are in good agreement with the linear transport theory, which takes into account an internal electric field of fluctuational origin. These results provide important evidence for identification of the mechanism of the oscillations and zero-resistance states developed in their minima.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...

Electric Field at the Surface of a Conductor
In the 19th century, Michael Faraday conducted the famous ice pail experiment to prove that the charges always reside on the surface of a conductor. The experimental set-up consists of a conducting uncharged container mounted on an insulating stand. The outer surface of the container is...

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
