Abstract
Since 2000, atomic physicists have reduced the uncertainty of the helium-helium ab initio potential,for example, from approximately 0.6% to 0.1% at 4 bohr and from 0.8% to 0.1% at 5.6 bohr.These results led us to: (1) construct a new interatomic potential f06, (2) recalculate values of thesecond virial coefficient, the viscosity, and the thermal conductivity of 4He from 1 K to 10,000 K, and(3), analyze the uncertainties of the thermophysical properties that propagate from the uncertaintyof f06 and from the Born-Oppenheimer approximation of the electron-nucleon quantum mechanicalsystem. We correct minor errors in a previous publication [J. J. Hurly and M. R. Moldover, J. Res.Nat. Inst. Standards Technol. 105, 667 688, (2000)] and compare our results with selected data publishedafter 2000. The ab initio results tabulated here can serve as standards for the measurementof thermophysical properties.Citation
