Abstract
Aluminum thin films containing helium microbubbles produced by He+-ion implantation have been investigated by ultraviolet absorption and electron-energy-loss spectroscopies in the range 1-30 eV. The shape and position of the 1S01-nP11 helium line series and several Al plasmon bands are discussed in terms of the physical state of helium in the bubbles. Results imply helium densities 3 to 6 times that of liquid He at 2°K and 1 bar pressure.
