The behavior of /sup 3/He and /sup 4/He in a one-dimensional channel (approx.10 A in diameter) of K-L zeolite has been studied by measuring isosteric heat of sorption and heat capacities in the temperature range 0.1-1.5 K as a function of the amount of helium adsorbed. At smaller amounts, below 40% of full channel, the He adatoms seem to be bound on the potential minima of the wall. However, at larger amounts adsorbed, between 40 and 70%, a one-dimensional translation of the excess adatoms over 40% is suggested by the results that the molar heat capacities at T greater than or equal to 1 K are about the magnitude R/2 of a one-dimensional gas and that the heat of sorption at T = 0 K is almost constant.
