Abstract
We have observed changes in the drift properties of negative ions in liquid helium when they are exposed to near-infrared radiation. The existence of this effect strongly supports the bubble model of the ion's structure. The results imply a bubble radius of 21.2±0.5 Å and a well depth of 1.0±0.2 eV.
