Quantum Films Adsorbed on Graphite: Third and Fourth Helium Layers
Marlon Pierce, Efstratios Manousakis
Using a path-integral Monte Carlo method for simulating superfluid quantum films, we investigate helium layers adsorbed on a substrate consisting of graphite plus two solid helium…
The Role of Substrate Corrugations in Helium Monolayer Solidification
Marlon E. Pierce, Efstratios Manousakis
We investigate the first layer of helium adsorbed on graphite with path-integral Monte Carlo, examining the role of substrate corrugations on the phase diagram. When no corrugation…
Monolayer Solid Helium-4 Clusters on Graphite
M. E. Pierce, E. Manousakis
In order to resolve the controversy about the low density region of the phase diagram of the 4He monolayer on graphite, we have undertaken a path integral Monte Carlo study of the…
Path integral Monte Carlo simulation of the second layer of helium-4 adsorbed on graphite
Marlon Pierce, Efstratios Manousakis
We have developed a path integral Monte Carlo method for simulating helium films and apply it to the second layer of helium adsorbed on graphite. We use helium-helium and helium-gr…
Phase diagram of second layer of helium adsorbed on graphite
Marlon Pierce, Efstratios Manousakis
Using realistic helium-helium and helium-graphite interactions and the path integral Monte Carlo method, we are able to identify the gas, superfluid liquid, commensurate-solid, and…
