| We propose and study the properties of several new systems at the surface of liquid He. Negative ions of a large radius absorbed on the surface behave like a system of heavy electrons. The charged complexes of a bound electron on the surface and a neutral cluster below the surface give a chance of a direct measuring the Wigner crystal of electrons. Surface states of He atoms are very important for the properties of liquid He surface. The temperature dependence of surface tension of liquid He is strongly affected by these surface states.
