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…
Nanoscopic jets and filaments of superfluid He-4 at zero temperature: a DFT study
Francesco Ancilotto, Manuel Barranco, Marti Pi
Helium droplets produced by the instability of a cryogenic helium jet exiting a source chamber leads to the formation of He drops which are considered as ideal matrices for spectro…
Vortices in quantum droplets of heteronuclear Bose mixtures
Matteo Caldara, Francesco Ancilotto
We have theoretically investigated the structure of spinning self-bound droplets made of K-Rb Bose mixture by solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation including beyond-m…
