摘要：

The energy of a two-electron bubble in liquid He is computed with a correlated electronic wave function. Without correlation the bubble is unstable against decay into two one-electron bubbles; correlation reduces the energy by about eV, but the bubble is still unstable. However, a free electron can be trapped by a one-electron bubble. The resulting metastable bubble will expand and presumably split into two bubbles. Experiments are suggested to test the trapping and splitting hypotheses. © 1969 The American Physical Society.
