Tracking Microhydration of the NaCl Rocksalt Molecule in Helium Nanodroplets by Penning Ionization Electron Spectroscopy

Ltaief Ben Ltaief, Keshav Sishodia, Robert Richter +6

The microhydration of rock salt (NaCl) molecules was investigated using high-resolution Penning ionization electron spectroscopy (PIES) in helium nanodroplets. Although model calcu…

Time-resolved solvation of alkali ions in superfluid helium nanodroplets: Theoretical simulation of a pump-probe study

Ernesto García-Alfonso, Manuel Barranco, Martí Pi +1

The solvation process of an alkali ion (Na, K, Rb, Cs) inside a superfluid He nanodroplet is investigated theoretically using liquid He time-depend…

Revisiting Thomson's model with multiply charged superfluid helium nanodroplets

Ernesto Garcia-Alfonso, Francesco Ancilotto, Manuel Barranco +3

We study superfluid helium droplets multiply charged with ions. When stable, the charges are found to reside in equilibrium close to the droplet surface, thus representing a physic…

Quantized vortex nucleation in collisions of superfluid nanoscopic helium droplets at zero temperature

Ernesto García-Alfonso, Francesco Ancilotto, Manuel Barranco +2

We address the collision of two superfluid 4 He droplets at non-zero initial relative velocities and impact parameters within the framework of liquid 4 He time-dependent density fu…

Breakup of quantum liquid filaments into droplets

Francesco Ancilotto, Manuel Barranco, Marti Pi

We have investigated how the Rayleigh-Plateau instability of a filament made of a 41K-87Rb self-bound mixture may lead to an array of identical quantum droplets, with typical break…

Self-sustained deformable rotating liquid He cylinders: The pure normal fluid He and superfluid He cases

Martí Pi, Francesco Ancilotto, Manuel Barranco +2

We have studied self-sustained, deformable, rotating liquid He cylinders of infinite length. In the normal fluid He case, we have employed a classical model where only surface…
