Abstract
A drift mechanism of formation of wires in liquid helium from metal laser ablation products has been suggested. The latter are usually ionized and are attracted to any surface due to the electric image force. This is responsible for that the drift of microparticles prevail over diffusion. The formation of anisometric structures (wires) under the drift conditions is a well-known phenomenon [9], not related to the properties of superfluid helium.
