doctor_cat Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Dear friend, does anyone know if there exists any study about electrical conductivity of liquid argon? Thank you in advance for any suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amphibole Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 On the electrical resistance of liquid helium M.Wolfke W.H.Keesom Show more https://doi.org/10.1016/S0031-8914(36)80356-5Get rights and content 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldChemE Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 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.

doctor_cat Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
