Suboxides of heavy alkali metals are known for their particularly low work funciton. This property should make the surface of those materials less binding for helium than that of pure metals. A semi-quantitative assessment of their wetting properties for liquid helium is proposed. Preparation of such surfaces has been undertaken for rubidium suboxides. The wetting properties obtained for liquid helium will be reported
