Atomic and Molecular Impurities in ${}^4$He Clusters

Abstract

A density functional theory is used to predict the binding energy of atomic and molecular impurities (Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and SF${}_6$) in the center of ${}^4$He clusters, in the limit of zero temperature and for zero angular momentum states. The size dependence of the binding energy, from small clusters to the bulk liquid limit, is investigated. The behaviour of the ${}^4$He density near the impurity is also studied.
