Dear friend,

does anyone know if there exists any study about electrical conductivity of liquid argon?

Thank you in advance for any suggestion.

Summary

The specific electrical resistance of liquid helium was found from 1.28°K to 4.22°K to be at least 10¹⁵ Ω cm.

From a paper on the electrical conductivity (or lack thereof) of Helium. I expect Argon will behave in much the same way.

If you think about it a little it makes good sense.  Helium and Argon are Noble gasses.  They have 8 electrons in their valence shell.  They do not form ions particularly well and are largely non-reactive.  You need ions in order to have significant electrical conductivity.  Noble gasses don't conduct well.

Thank you, guys.

If possible,
I'd like to find a detailed report about liquid argon (at low pressure, that is max 3atm - I forgot).
