Localization in two dimensional third sound systems

The results of third sound and quartz crystal microbalance measurements on thin superfluid 4He films (4–16 atomic layers) exploring the effect of surface roughness, disorder and localization are reported. The effect of surface roughness on 4He adsorption and third sound speed is studied in detail fo...
