Some Microscopic Manifestations of Superfluidity
1. Free Rotations of Molecules
2. The Roton Gap (Phonon Wing)
3. Anomalously Small Moments of Inertia
How many atoms are needed for superfluidity?
How will this number depend on the observed property?

Sharp spectral features indicate that the molecule rotates without friction
The closer spacing of the lines indicates a factor 2.7 largermoment of inertia
Is this a new microscopic manifestation of superfluidity?

Since IR absorption lines are so sharp, what about electronic transitions?

The large zero point energy also affects the dimer
The large zero-point energy makes liquid Helium the most tenuous of all liquids
About 10 years ago it was not known whether the He dimer had a bound state

The K have sharp peaks whenever the N cluster has a new excited state. Then both Ξ and K will increase.
But for the N+1 cluster both Ξ will be about the same and K will fall back.
